Thread: Need pattern ideas for men's quilt

A disappearing nine patch is fast, easy and all straight seam! It's fun to play with the blocks when you get them cut into 4 pieces. If you make the 9 patch large it really goes together fast. I am working on a man's quilt in flannels and it's made from 8-1/2" squares = 24" block before you cut the 9 patch in 4.

I made my DB (he is an over the road truck driver) a quilt a few years ago. It was really simple. It was a rail fence variation and had no matched points.

There are 2 strip sets. For example: white-blue-white and blue-white-blue.
Each row is made of a single color way with every other block set on it's side.
So, row 1 is W-B-W as follows
Horizontal-vertical-Horizontal-vertical-Horizontal-vertical-Horizontal
Row 2 is B-W-B as follows
vertical-Horizontal-vertical-Horizontal-vertical-Horizontal-vertical

Here is a link to the closet example I could find

I only used 3 strips in my strip sets.
