I had a extra day off and the basket of Rainbow Scrap challenge blocks was about to overflow. I have been using them as leaders and enders, especially the same coloured nine patches.
So I laid them out and used my new Sew Easy pins to number the rows of blocks.
Then webbed the rows using the Bonnie Hunter method. If your not familiar with webbing, its the ultimate in chain piecing when your putting a top together. See Quiltville tutorial here.
I do it slightly differently as I pin my rows first, and then just deal with two rows and when I am feeling comfortable I tackle three rows at a time.

The end result is this top (56" x ?")
I don't have a title for this quilt yet. But I am really pleased to report that it did use all the nine patches...until I discovered I had put a blue block where I needed a green block....so I now have one left over blue block!!
Having said that, these were the ultimately easy leaders and enders blocks and used up oodles of 2.5" squares of scraps, so perhaps I could see my way to making more in the future :)
Happy quilting Sue.
