Long Time Gone & Trip Around the World

No photo description available.

I finished the Trip Around the World block for Long Time Gone. It measures 13.5" X 13.5" including the seam allowance.

This block is made up of 169 squares, 13 X 13. I didn't want to have to match up 12 seams every time I added a new row. I decided to make it into a large 9-patch. I started in the middle and then worked my way around the block. With this method, I only had to match up 12 seams two times! Much better!!

Here are my blocks so far! I'm really enjoying working on this quilt so far!
