Mirror image 9-patch blocks
I love, love, love the lowly little 9-oatch & found the neatest tutorial for making mirror image 9's! I hope you like it as much as I do!!!

This is such a neat technique. I had done um-teen of these using scrappy 6 inch squares. It was just part of my mindless sewing when I wanted to relax. We divided the sets in half by randomly selecting the + and - blocks. By combining these with plain ecru squares we made a pretty quilt for charity. Sorry, no pix :-(

I like making 9 patches, but I start with a large 4 patch. I usually use 6" squares. You end up with a 9patch with a large center, but they go together quickly and are so cute in a baby quilt.

Hello. I am new to quilting and very interested in trying this disappearing 4 patch, but when I search for directions on where to make the 2 cuts on the fabric, I can only find a very different version of the disappearing 4 patch that requires 4 cuts, and results in a very different looking block. Any further info on how to make this particular block would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Looks like you were working with very many very small pieces, but your weren't.
