Slow non-nine patch

      I am slowly working on the non disappearing nine patch cat quilt for a friend's friend in a nursing home. Because I did not have green batiks the full 6.5" x 6.5", I had to use 3 1/4" x 6.5" rectangles to make it work. That means cutting lots of pieces and chain sewing. I wanted to have lattice strips in between the blocks. I figured it all out and then realized my lattice pieces were cut at 2", not 1.5", so I had to recut. I wrote the wrong measurement down, even though I was trying to be precise.
     It will be 3 blocks by 4. Each big block finishes a little under 19".
Kit all cut (fussy cut the cat blocks) and page of notes.
Laying out the big block for sewing as it is not a nine patch really.
Four done, eight to go.
