This is a quilt for my nephew Tyrus. The quilt has two different blocks, the 9 patch and the snowball. I made each block in two colours and the 9 patches were made into two different configurations so there are a total of 6 different blocks.

This makes an easy 12" block. And the quilt comes together very quickly once you have your blocks made. You will want to make sure you square the finished blocks or your ribbons will not match up nicely.

This recipe works for both muffins and loaves. I try to always have a few ripe bananas on hand in the freezer. A little tip for for freezer bananas is to peel them before you freeze them.

My students made this on a weekly basis, the recipe has been perfected by students so you know it will work well. The picture below is how it was sold to teachers, staff and students for $2.75. There are also a few variations below that we tried and loved but did not get pictures of.
