Mirror image 9-patch blocks
I love, love, love the lowly little 9-oatch & found the neatest tutorial for making mirror image 9's! I hope you like it as much as I do!!!

Really cute!!!!

This is such a neat technique. I had done um-teen of these using scrappy 6 inch squares. It was just part of my mindless sewing when I wanted to relax. We divided the sets in half by randomly selecting the + and - blocks. By combining these with plain ecru squares we made a pretty quilt for charity. Sorry, no pix :-(

I like making 9 patches, but I start with a large 4 patch. I usually use 6" squares. You end up with a 9patch with a large center, but they go together quickly and are so cute in a baby quilt.

Thanks, both ladies, for these techniques - I have to teach new blocks at our guild meeting and these "Old done new" ideas are going to be great!

Hello. I am new to quilting and very interested in trying this disappearing 4 patch, but when I search for directions on where to make the 2 cuts on the fabric, I can only find a very different version of the disappearing 4 patch that requires 4 cuts, and results in a very different looking block. Any further info on how to make this particular block would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
