This is the piecing for a Disappearing 9 Patch
1. Cut squares your desired size (I personally prefer 3 1/2" to 4") then sew your 9 patch unit.
2. Cut in half in both horizontal and vertical.
3. Twist and turn the cut sections then sew back together.
This is so cool! I like it. Looks like it would be hard until you look at it.....I can do this one! ......Sharon, you are the best!
Sis, can I do this with my 9 patch cancer quilt squares? Wow, what a difference it would make on one of them ?!! I like this idea! booper
Memaw you are right, this is really cool. I have not heard about doing this block. So fast to do for a baby quilt, or even my flannel. I am marking this as a favorite. So simple but looks great.
Thanks for letting us know about this.
Thanks for sharing - this is on my list to start for my next new project. I just talked to my son Michael and another of his daughters, Ashley, is getting married in October. This will make a wonderful wedding quilt and I have plenty of time to get this one together. Hugs Diane
Glad you all like it............this can be done in controlled chaos!! Pic a fabric you love and pull out everything that will go with it. I used 20 fat quarters plus 2 border fabrics for this one. Hopefully it will be enough. I got 20 4" squares out of each fabric.
I love your color choices - so soft - I hope you have enough for the quilt you want to make.
Sharon, I'm new to the group so am just finding my way around. A friend I invited to the group said she looked at the 9 patch and it is the same pattern she uses. It was so great seeing your post. I've had my material picked out (all oriental) and your post inspires me. I hope I can get to it soon!
My girlfriends both made one and its on my list of things to do! I even made one block to show my daughter how to make it. I love your colors! If you make this with the same color, like red or blue, in the center of your 9-patches, then that color will make little squares throughout the quilt and it looks really neat. Gotta make one of these!
Great quilt Sharon! I love the way it turns out! You do some pretty amazing work!! Have you been quilting for a long time??
Thanks everyone
Cheryl.........I've been quilting since 1981........before rotary cutters, mats, markers.....all the good stuff we have now.
Pam......if you use controlled colors like red/white and blue........it looks more like a checker board when you put it together. Some people like it....I'm not thrilled.
Do you think that this is a pattern, or should go under the patterns section so that people can find it easier?
If I still had the pics, I would put them over there......unforutnately I deleted them.
I have been saving up some really pretty pink fabric. I am going to use it using this pattern. I think it will outstanding!
What a wonderful, fast quilt! Great fabric choices!!
That is the exact pattern I worked on today. If you start with an 8 or 9 inch block you can do a whole top in less than a day.
It is nice to see that you have made your first post. If you have any questions, we are all here to answer them.
I've just finished my second quilt top. The pattern is so easy and it goes pretty fast. I'll get pictures up of them, but first I have to press them. Hopefully, soon.
June. I am happy that you are making them up..........just don't forget to press as you go. You will end up with a much nicer quilt in the long run.
Thanks, Sharon. I have taken pictures of them, but have to get them on site. I'm hoping to be successful with that soon.
I am new to quilting i have made a lap quilt and a single bed quilt. I am keen to start the next one. I am going to make this for my mum it looks so easy to make but looks so good made up i can't wait. Thankyou.
I'm sure it will turn out beautiful!! Welcome to AOQ!!
HI, Thank you for the welcome i have been busy collecting pink fabric i am also going to put a few butterflys randomly all over as my mother loves butterflys i have an embroidery machine that has a butterfly card so should be easy in my mind it looks beautiful i can only hope.
It is nice to see your post about this quilt. Please post your quilt when you are done, we would all love to see it.
Your lap quilt would be nice to see also. If you have any questions of how to post please ask, we are all here to help you.
