Hand Tied Quilt Part 2

Image of my hands in front of a sewing machine holding a finished quilt square made with 3 strips of fabric sewn together. Color combinations are: #1 white background with small red flowers/designs, #2 solid red, #3 white background with prominent red flower designs
I DID IT - I DID IT - I DID IT!!!  I finally put together my first quilt square!  Only 120-something more to go...or something like that.  I haven't actually counted how many I need.  At the rate I'm going, I'm hoping I'll have it finished by the time next winter rolls around. 

I have decided to cut all my fabric strips first because that seems to be the hardest part for me.  I'm also positive I need to get more fabric since I want to make a queen size quilt.  At least it should go a little faster now that I've decided to go with 9" squares rather than the smaller 6".

I'll post more updates in the future as I make progress.
