those are such fun to make!

Disappearing 9 patch....fabulous idea
 

I am so glad I saw this thread. It is a fabulous idea and one I have never heard of until now. When I took my first quilting class about 6 years ago, I over cut what I needed for my quilt. I have a bunch of 9 patches that I was not sure what I was going to use them for because I didn't want to do the same quilt I did the first time around. This solves that question I had in my mind......Thanks for bringing this into the forum!!!

Here is my D 9-P.

I made 2 separate 9-patch blocks

Blender #1: for block 1
Blender #2: for block 2
Blender (for the center of each of the 9-patch blocks): Cream or neutral tone on tone
Medium scale floral or print # 1 for block 1 (for the corner of the blocks)
Medium scale floral or print # 2 for block 2 (for the corners of the blocks)

After I cut the 9-P blocks...I used 2 pcs from each to make one block. Then assemble the quilt.

Large scale focus print (for the border fabric)

Google it! So much fun! I have made several now and they all look different depending on the fabric and the placement of the squares. Enjoy and it's NOT hard. I made one in an evening over the holidays for one of my daughters who recently moved away. Love from home! I hope you enjoy D9P as much as I have!

Really, really pretty! Love them set on point and adore your border and setting fabrics.

I like your quilt.!

If you are referring to my quilt..they are not "set on point". I pointed 2 pcs of one block with the light square toward the center...and with 2 pcs from the second block, I pointed the light squares to the corner. You are correct tho...I never thought of this looking as if it was set on point! Thanks for "pointing" this out to me!

I made a D9P table runner for my mom. It was fun to move the blocks around to come up with a pattern.

If I may ask, what size were your beginning blocks and what width of sashing did you use? This is really beautiful.

Thanks for the links and all of the tips!
