Disappearing Nine-Patch

OK. Now I know what I should have done... Nevertheless, it turned out quite nicely and I happen to have enough fabric from my stash for backing and binding.
While I was on a roll, I made another lap quilt from the 8" lengths I had cut from leftovers. I simply sewed strips together width-wise and then when they were more or less 8" square, trimmed them to 7.5" squares and then laid them out, altering the direction of stripes in each block (horizontal & vertical). I shocked myself with the colours I put together but in the end it is very colourful and interesting. the strips were not 100" even (i.e. 2.5" at one end, a little more or less at the other) but in the big picture, it fits. I even surprised myself by pinning before sewing so my corners match almost perfectly (a first for me). I was ready to head to Fabricland for backing fabric but I checked my stash and in some of my larger leftovers, I have enough to make fabric widths to make vertical stripes and make my own backing. My stash, she is losing space...
Photos later, maybe.
