Can you help me figure this one out?

Can you help me figure out how to make this? I see the 9 patch, and the granny squares, but how are they put together?

The little squares are part of a 4-patch. Does that help? Everything is set on point, so tilting your head while you look at it may help.

I see that, but I wonder how to make it into blocks...it seems that because the granny squares are weird shaped, that they don't easily fit as blocks. I can see how to make this if I lay it out row by row, but that seems pretty tedious.

I really like the look of chains and this makes the simple granny square look fantastic.

OK, I didn't see your marks on the quilt at first. Instead of the 5x5 granny square, look at it as a 3x3 (just the center all dark portion. Then there is sashing between the two blocks. The sashing consists of 4-patches for the cornerstones (part of the chain) and the part that goes to the sides and top/bottom of the blocks is light-dark-light.

Here's two pictures - the first is just the sashings - the second has the blocks inserted.

It looks like an 8 patch repeat. The 9 patches are 3 so that really messes everything up. This is what I came up with as 2 repeating 4X4 patches, but I think it would be easier to lay it out on a design board.

I may be wrong but I think this quilt is sewn like strips in a Bargello. You might want to see if there are any short cuts on a quilt design called Boston Commons. This design is similar because it has squares set on point looking like a Trip Around the World. Good Luck !!

I had thought of Duncan's layout and that works with the sashing. Good Job using you EQ program !!! Hope you are keeping warm up in Oregon !!

This looks like Clover Schnibbles by Miss Rosie Quilt Co.

There doesn't seem to be an easy way out on this. You pretty much
have to layout everything and sew it by rows or do it the way dunster
described.

I would just buy the pattern. Being as you are in Poland, it would be easy Peazy for you as it is a PDF and available for immediate download after payment. You can save an additional 15% by using the code Happy15 at checkout.

Thank you thank you! I spent a long time yesterday on line searching for it (to buy) but I had no idea what it was called. I kept searching under granny squares with chain, etc,

Thanks so much! I appreciate all your work and think what you've done is very helpful.

That definitely clarifies everything. I really do appreciate all your help!

I finally figured out how to get the blocks into the sashing. The blocks are just two 9-patches. The dark 9-patch is 4 mediums and 4 darks put together with a light print in the center. The second 9-patch is four light-medium 4-patches in the corners, four white blocks on the sides and the 4-patch of all mediums in the center.
That doesn't sound hard at all. Right?

• :D
• So in your first picture you have the 9-patch that includes the 4-patch corners outlined. Now reduce the other to a 9-patch, and you have it.

Of course, now you have to create the sashing so that the colored squares fall in the right places.
Good luck.

Dunster, I see it exactly the way you do. Nine-patch with sashing. Your EQ design shows it very well.

That is exactly what I saw and your images show it perfectly. A center 9-patch with the enhanced sashings. Thank you for the sample.

Will this help???

So much fun to watch all you help justflyingin out!!:thumbup:

Seasaw2mch, you make this look so easy. Now what size would you use for the large 9 patch squares. Thanks.

That would depend on how large you want your quilt to be.
If it was for a small lap to a twin size, I think I would make them 6" or 8" squares
for a queen to king size, I would make them 10" or 12" squares
Again, like with all quilts, it a matter of preference. If it suites your taste then go for it!!!

I think you want to stay with both numbers being divisible by 3 as it is a 9P quilt; unless you want to paper piece to yield an 8" 9P.

Use 2 1/2" cuts for the 9P to yield 6" squares and 2" wide pieced sashings. 1 1/2" cuts for the 4P chain block to yield a 6" square. 49 blocks of each yields a 92" square; and you need the pieced sashings and 4P cornerstones.

Use 3 1/2" cuts for the 9" square and 3" wide sashings. 2" cuts for the 4P chain block for a 9" square. 25 9P blocks and 25 chain blocks would yield about an 85" square quilt. Remember you need the pieced sashings and 4P cornerstones as well.

Neither of the above takes into account the pieced setting triangles made up of the chain block.

Hope this is clearer than mud.

I love it when someone is smart enough to take the guess work out of a pattern. Thanks, Oksewglad, for all your work.

This is exactly why I come to this site daily. It's a new learning experience every time. Thanks to all who jump in to help:)
