Plus, I love red and have wanted to see what this looked like for a long time.
Making the 9 patches with mini's was very time consuming and this is about an hour's work.
I have to feed the patches in slowly so they don't go all wonky. Sometimes they did that anyway and sometimes they got completely stuck. That's when this came in handy. A stiletto. Does anyone else have this in their bag of tricks?
So, this little quilt is still developing and maybe take a wild turn yet...stay tuned! More next week-

Loving your use of red. Looking forward to seeing this develop :)
Love the red! I'd say you accomplished a lot in an hour.
really pretty red-raspberry!
I have a siletto and I do use it but i often misplace it among my mess while sewing!
Red is a perfect background for these little pretties! Slow sewing is necessary for accuracy in mini quilts. A stiletto, too, works to hold those babies where you want them. I have also used a bamboo skewer for steering them when my fingers just seem too big. And my seam ripper works nearly as well...and it's always on my work table!
