Hi, the disappearing nine patch is really simple, yet when it is done it looks like you have done something more complex. Make nine patch blocks with the center piece being the same color in all the blocks. i.e. I made one with black and white squares and red block centers. Then after you sew the nine patch, cut in in half both vertically and horizontally and rotate the upper right quarter and the lower left quarter 180 degrees until the center piece in on the corner and then sew the block back together again. Just google a disappearing nine patch block pattern, there are some really good tutorials out there. It really is a neat looking quilt yet very simple to make. Hope you'll give it a try.
