I find it so interesting that people can come up with so many different names for a Split 9 Patch. When they are published in a magazine with a new name - suddenly they are something new! I've found that simple patterns have the most to offer us quilters - because each and every one we do is new and unique. I know this is why I am never bored. Keep on creating, ladies - and know that each of yours could be published too (with a new name.) We create unique items all the time and don't need a new name to appreciate the glow it warms in our creative hearts.
This rendition is a beautiful example of a FIRST rendition of this new/old pattern. Name it whatever you want and know that its one of a kind character is your special creation. Lovely work!
