The Olive 9 patch

 This is the adventure that is my first official I'm-cutting-it-out-myself quilt.  I'm calling it the Olive 9 patch because it'll go on the new big girl bed of a little sweetie that lives here.

 I picked up a selection of fat quarters and a jelly roll to get started

 I have to set things up on my kitchen counter or little hands try to help.

 Pairing up the stripes.  I found a sweet little polka dot white fabric at Joann's to use as one of the lights

 

getting ready to sew, again on my kitchen table this time.

 I also picked out this leaf pattern as another white.    Here's a stack of stripes ready to be cut into the squares

pinning edges

pressing on the ironing board

and here's a finished green patch. 

I have a plan for a pastel colored, sort of rainbow with the blocks.  Starting at pink and ending with lavender.  I'm doing an irish chain with the patches, meaning each 9 patch will be separated with a solid block.
