I sewed binding on this tiny chaos quilt on the drive here. The front is tiny nine patches leftover from another quilt. For a while I was entirely obsessed with tiny little nine patches made from one inch strips. They still keep turning up in my scrap bins from time to time.
Here is the back, just randomly leftover green blocks from the orphan bin. I think that I love it even more than the front. Even the batting is pieced together from leftovers! I squeaked out this chaos quilt in just in time to count as a finish for 2024.
Just three days until the beginning of RSC25! I think that I have settled on a simplified lattice layout for my new leaders and enders project. I very much wanted to use what I have on hand. So the 2.5 inch squares are always ready and waiting. I don't keep 3.5 inch squares on hand, but I will come up with those from either crumb fabric or existing scraps. Honestly, 3.5 is a reasonable size of squares to collect, I just usually focus on smaller bits.
How are your 2024 wrap up plans coming along? I hope that you have cleared some mental and physical space for RSC25 projects! Feel free to share your plans for next year or your finishes from last year. Next week will be week 1 of the new year and PINK will be the color.

Your tiny nine patch quilt is wonderful! What a great way to use up those orphan blocks for the backing, too. Hooray for an end of the year finish!
Wow! The tiniest pieces make some of the prettiest quilts. Well done, including using those orphan blocks on the back. That's a great final finish for 2024.
Congrats on getting another one done! I love 9-Patch and can't stop sewing some up. But not that small! The back is wonderful! It's a two quilt for one. I like your layout. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with in the New Year. Have a wonderful one. ;^)
How fun that you used up both the 9 patches and the orphan blocks on your last finish of the year. Hopefully that leaves you with a bit cleaner of a slate for 2025.
Adorable little nine patches, great quilt front and back! I'm looking forward to RSC 2025!
A two-sided quilt is a good way to end the year.
Happy New Year,
Pat
What a fun quilt finish you have. I love adding the scrappy blocks into the backs of the quilts. Thank you for hosting the RSC again. I have plans for 2025 with different blocks each week. We will see how the year goes.
Wow, Angela! Your tiny 9-patches and backing is fabulous! I really love it! Great way using those orphan blocks. Beautiful colors too. Well done!
Thank you for all the inspiration. I've lurked for a long time but plan to play along this year.
Wishing your family and you all the best wishes for 2025.
Look forward to another year of RSC .
