Philadelphia Pavement and Some 9-Patch Prep

Happy Fourth of July!  We had extreme heat today (115 heat indices), so I thought my time would be best spent in the sewing room.  I did leave the sewing machine to spend time with my family too, but I seem to be an extreme wimp in extreme heat.

Today's block has a shoo fly block in the middle.  It was a quick and easy block so I had time to work on my 9-patches.  This is a 10-inch block and is number 186 of 366.

I decided that my time would be better spent if I had all my strips cut.  That way when I have short periods of time I can grab strips and sew some 9-patches rather than cutting and then trying to piece them all at once.

After my strips were cut I started sewing sets together.  I'm excited to cut tomorrow and have some more finished blocks.  I'm linking with WIP Wednesday.  Happy Stitching!!
