I went to work on the back of the 10 Little Things Disappearing 9-Patch today and actually finished it! It’s a big accomplishment because I decided to use a panel in the back (remind me to NEVER do that again!).  The rest of the back became an exercise in geometry and piecing.  Thank goodness my husband was a math major in college – I enlisted his help to draw out the pattern I’d need to complete the back of the quilt.  I also had a limited amount of the blue fabric and wanted to make the most of what I had instead of taking the easy way out and going to buy 3 more yards.

Here’s the finished quilt, in reverse order (because I’m a dork like that)…
Finished back (a bit on the blurry side…sorry!)

Finished front

Front – pre-border

Cut apart 9-patch block (It’s a little scary sewing them together, then cutting them apart right away!)

First block finished:

And here’s the pattern that hubby created for me (geometry was never my strong subject):

What’s this about ‘Ben, Bunny & Me’??
Ben Folds was my companion today while I completed the back for the quilt, and now as I type this.  I love me some Ben Folds.
And Bunny?  Well, that’s the name that I recently gave my sewing machine.  I’ve had her for close to 10 years, so I thought I’d better get to naming her!  She’s a Bernina, so I named her after my aunt, Bernice, whose nickname was Bunny or Bun.
