like this site! thanks!

Hmmm... If you used layer cake 10" squares, then I guess it would make two 8 1/2" 9-patch blocks?

I have always used the strip method to make 4-patch and 9-patch but this is a good way if you have squares to start out with.

i love those 9 patches, but with further exploration----there's a really great 3D heart pattern on there--thanks 4 sharing!

I make all my nine patches this way... This idea also came from annalenaland on line on her blog spot... Thanks for sharing this for those board members who have not seen it done this way Yet!

Thank You. Love all the help. Sure makes quilting easier.

Thanks for sharing..sure makes 9 patch blocks easier.

Thanks!

I use this method too...works great for me.

good one thanks

WOW! wish I knew about this before I cut out 3600'ish pieces for my daughter's quilt. All cut early summer, but not all pieced yet. LOL DEFINITELY will use in the future. Don't like strip piecing as much.

Great idea! Strip piecing 9 patch blocks if you want several blocks to be the same, but this is a great method for all blocks to be different. Thanks for sharing method!
