I try to print them all out right away and put them in my binder. I have never mastered the bookmark thing. Will have to try that one of these days.

See the "message" on top of this thread. Look to the left and see "bookmark"? Click "bookmark" and then name it so you can remember. I named it 9 patch. Thats all there is to it.

Yep, that is what I am going to do tonight. I figured since we are having our time change back to standard time I will try to stay up later. So while I was waiting for my supper to cook I went to the basement to get out some pieces of fabric to try the 9 patch and the HST's. Guess what, I couldn't make a decision of what to cut up. Isn't that pathetic?!?!? This is my big problem. I have so many fat quarters, not enough to do anything with, but still don't want to waste them on something I may never use. Get a Life!!!!!

Thank you, I saw it, and then lost it too - I tried Search, and that didn't come up with it either. I've saved it now.

It consisted of 2 9 1/2" blocks sewed on the 2 sides, cut apart in 2 places, etc. Anyone know where I saw it? Thanks in advance for the help.

There is a tutorial on here by Izy. I just downloaded it.
