First you assemble a 9 patch block. Then you cut it up and rearrange it and sew it back together. It's a very easy way to get a more complicated looking pattern. On the standard D9P, after you assemble it, you cut the block in half both directions. I like to flip flop the opposite corners. I also like to use the same color in the center squares of the 9 patch. It creates a sub pattern and looks great when you do it that way.

Good explanation. And there is no wrong way to flip the pieces. You can get some really neat final looks.

This is absolutely my first "post", and I had to respond to this one! Who would have "thunk" it? This is way too cool learning new things

you make a 9=patch then cut it - rearrange the pieces and sew it back together

We take a nice hunk of fabric, cut it into strips (or sqs), sew them together, cut them apart to re-sew them again.


I think we're all nuts

:lol:

My hubby think that about all quilting. "You take a perfectly good piece of fabric, cut it into pieces and then sewing it together again."
