It's disconcerting to me. I find the two blocks sort of clash in the way the come together. It's that odd shaped path that the light spaces make. Maybe because the 9 patch is based on 9-patch grid and the pinwheel based on 4 patch grid.

I dunno. Guess I'm the oddball. We all make our our quilts-- you need to please yourself.

I too am looking for a companion block for my nine patches but haven't settled on one yet. I will keep looking. Thanks for the inspiration!

I'm in LOVE !!!!! What a WONDERFUL IDEA for scraps. AND I love the way you use the light/dark squares to build up on the four-patch !!!!!!

I can certainly see THIS in my future !!

sewnsew, Can you share a picture? I am thinking of making one in those colors for a fellow going into the service.

Anyone making the D9P, what size squares are you starting with? I think my 2 1/2 squares would be to small and 4 1/2 maybe to big? Thanks
I used 6 inch squares for my D9P. Solid navy in 4 corners, solid red in center and the other 4 squares were red and whites - mostly prints - some with stars. Need to learn how to post pics..... sorry[/quote]

This is a pic of D9P made with 5 inch squares .It is SID and hasn't any binding yet This was done as a mystery and all of our new quilters (no stash yet) were able to make this.I like the scrappy look myself

Pics of the 9-patches I've made so far are posted here:

Some of them kind of morphed into things other than 9-patches. I can't seem to color inside the lines. :oops: :lol:
