Disappearing 9-Patch
 

Good Morning - Help! someone please point me to the pattern and/or directions to make the disappearing 9-patch that is currently the cover photo on the QB Facebook page. I love the sashing around each block that forms a star and have not been able to find directions for it. Thanks so much!

Maybe do a dearch on this board or look in the tutorial section. I made one, don't remember where I got the pattern. I sewed 5" strips together, like a regular nine patch, then cut up/down in half then cut side to side in half, then arrange them to your liking. sew together into blocks and sew the blocks together. I sewed borders on mine. It is in the gallery section on here. Very simple and easy.

Have you tried a google search for a free pattern?

I studied the picture. It is a DP. It is sashed with dark and a white square cornerstone. You would add two triangles on the end of each sashing piece (flying geese) to create the star look.

Cut the sashing piece the same length as the DP square. Cut the cornerstone square the same demention as the width of the sashing. Cut the small squares to make the flying geese ends one half the demention of the width of the sash.

I hope I described it so you can understand the construction and sizes to cut.

what is the QB Facebook page? do you have a link?

Here is the QB Facebook home page link

https://www.facebook.com/#!/QuiltingBoard

thanks so much... i was not aware that we had that :thumbup:

The Missouri Star Quilt Company has a tutorial on it, here is the link:

Hope that helps.

I just went there and discovered that our names and a link to "friend" us is also part of the QB FB page. Not everyone is going to like this. I'm also curious about who chooses "quilt of the day" when we post photos.

Are you telling me that my name is on Facebook (QB) when I have tried with all my might to avoid that place?

"Are you telling me that my name is on Facebook when i have tried with all my might to avoid that place?"
Me too!! I would not be happy either if I'm out there.

That looks like the disappearing 4 patch not the d9p

I don't care for my info to be on Facebook either since I did not know about it.

I also agree I do not want my info on facebook who took that right and put our names on there.

GrannieAnnie, I just went and looked and my name isn't on the facebook page and I do have a facebook account, however I haven't posted to that page so that's why I'm not there.

There isn't a list of quilting board forum members if that is what your thinking (at least I don't see one and I looked all over the facebook page). If anyone has posted (and you need a facebook account to post on a facebook page) then yes their information will appear but they chose to post and put themselves out there.

Hope that helps,

Just wondering why QB has a facebook presence. It must be to lead more viewers to this forum. I wonder if it's working. Is anyone here because they found us on facebook?

As far as the quilt, it does look like a disappearing 4-patch with star sashing.

Thank you ladies for your help! Between the link, and the description of how to make the sashing, I'm good. This will be my next project :) - I'm not able to be on often but do appreciate all the info here. Thanks again!

please see this thread for any concerns about facebook http://www.quiltingboard.com/qb-help...k-t198802.html

unfortunately, our old owner did create an FB page for the QB.
i have nothing to do with it.

it is NOT part of the board.
it's a marketing thing.

the page is maintained by somebody at IB.
