I saw this technique on another site http://quiltingpassion.com/blocks/pieced/ninepatchvariation/index.html.
I tried it with an existing 9 patch that I made from scraps when I first learning to make a 9-patch. I'm very new to quilting. Just started this year.
I really like it and can't wait to make a lap quilt out of it.
