Nine Patch Project
#421
Here are six scrappy disappearing 9 patch's...they are very busy/confusing and only 6-1/4". If I continue with them, I will need to set them with an alternating plain dark block to calm the fabrics. What do you think?
This is my first attempt with the D9P, I like the technique!

Ok swimer girl I will add you to our group. :-)
wilhelmina, I think they make it look like a crazy quilt. I would just have fun with it. I could see some embroidery or decorative stitches in it. I think it's great. :thumbup:

Here's what I made today out of four 9-patches. I'm thinking of making it into a small bag or purse. I used only 2 fabrics, and alternated like this:
2 blocks
dark,light,dark
light,dark,light
dark,light,dark
2 blocks
light,dark,light
dark,light,dark
light,dark,light
Then when I cut 'em (4 blocks cut make 16 squares) I used 2 squares from each set to make each block. Sew 'em all together and it's kindof a cool pattern. I'm happy with it, at least!
Oh, and they're made from 2" squares so the pieces are a bit tiny to work with. Next time I'll probably do 3" squares.
