so...I wonder why I started this.....

mini puff quilt....
I mean it will be seriously cute
but...
 
@$%#*^
 
I got these teenie tiny 2.5 square candy bars of Cosmo Cricket
Odds and Ends fabric and really didnt know what to do with them..
 
I bought them cause they were cute
 
they are no longer cute!!!
 
I've made 18 of these 9 patches
 
you do the math.....
 
I'M gonna do some solids in the same size as the 9 patch
 
I'm thinking that 2.5 sqaure are not the best for this kind of quilt...friggin PAINFUL
 
wish me luck.....
