Question do you think using these 2 blocks together that the quilt will be busy?????? the blocks will be set on point... and crazy squares will be added around the edge............. see attached picture.
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:
