Disappearing 9 patch
What is a disappearing 9 patch? I've done 9 patches before, but I don't understand what "disappearing" 9 patches look like or how to make them. Is it something new?

You make your 9 patch and then cut it down the middle and across the middle then turn the squares and put them back together. The do not look like a 9 patch any more. It is really neat to see it come together. If you search on disappearing 9 patch on the internet you will find several hits. Have fun.

I made 3 D9P quilts. Here is the tute I used to learn.

Sew your choice of squares together. I used 5 with a strong color in the center one. Then cut like the tutorials say and sew them back together.

I put mine on point with sashing and added a center block because I ran out of charms. There is a thread of D9Ps in the picture gallery. They can be so different so it's worth a look.

Have you tried google? Here is a page full of pictures of D9Ps from google. You will probably find lots of tutorials there, also. (Or google "disappearing 9 patch tutorial.)

They're pretty easy to make.

Hi Jeanne, if you check out my blog which is listed with my signature, on the right side there is a column of quilts I've made and the 11th one down called Chaos in the chicken Coop is a disappearing 9-patch, a scrappy one!! We did a 9 patch exchange for many months in my guild, the rule was the outer corner squares and center square were dark and the four inner blocks were light.

Click on the resized chart in the second post in this thread. It has a chart of # of squares needed.

Well, it's kinda funny, cause I just sat dow to the QB, after making a D9P baby quilt. I had intentions of doing a pinwheel and the a brainwave hit me at 7 o clock, started sewing charms together, and chopping apart. It was really fun and was done the top in about 2 hrs. Now if you knew me, I always pick the complicated patterns, and tend to get picky, but I was in a wierd mood and just started mindlessly quilting. I used a charm pack, plus about another 20 squares cut from stash. I put the larger prints in the corners so they would not be chopped up, and I put whites in the centers. I am still going to add a boarder. The missouri star tute is a really great one. I really loved making this one

As suggested, you could google and find out the how-to!
Earlier today there was a link in this thread of a D9P, I Spy style
