Vanilla 9 patch-all sewn together....................
I sewed on the remaining 8 rows and then sewed the cross rows together, each one with 59 seams to match up. Yes that is 14 x 59=826 intersections of seams to match (every 1.5").
The next job is to press the whole thing. After all of that sewing (finished at 10:45p.m.) I just wasn't up to pressing last night.
Here is a shot of it at the machine with all of the seams showing. The last 2 seams of each 9 patch are placed vertically which insures a more consistent smoothness after it is pressed. 
The last thing I need to do is a row of staystitching a tiny bit less than 1/4" all around the outside edge to insure no popped seams and no stretching when sewing the border on.
