Deadlines are not something that you would generally associate with being retired. Most of the time I coast along comfortably and do what needs doing in a timely manner, often with the aid of a list.
However, now and then I find that I have a project with a completion date that I know will not be met if I continue to just do a bit now and then. So, patchwork is taking priority at the moment.
Here is the work in progress.
This is the first stage of laying out the blocks in preparation for creating Disappearing 9 Patch blocks.
Here is a detailed description of how it is done.
Time to do some more sewing.

Your patchwork work in progress looks beautiful, and I can imagine how satisfying it must be to see everything come together. The Disappearing 9 Patch blocks sound like a fun challenge, and I’m sure the sewing will be rewarding once you get into the rhythm. Wishing you smooth stitching as you work through this project!
