This is my current project a 9 patch in a 9 patch. I love 9 patches:)
The small patches are 1 squares [ATTACH=CONFIG]226526[/ATTACH] |
I am working on a double nine patch now, guess I am old fashioned :)
|
The nine patch is the first block I made. I made some black and white ones out of flannel and paired them up with some solid red flannel blocks.
|
my very first 9P was all done by cutting the squares and sewing by hand together..that was in the 70's! I so enjoy strip cutting and piecing them now!
|
A simple 9 patch wall hanging was the very first quilting project I made six years ago. Since that time, I've made many other wall hangings, but that's the one that I still display. Sometimes I look at it, and it gives me a happy feeling. Other times, it's a reminder of how much I've progressed with my quilts.
Even after we had a small fire in our home, I had the wall hanging professionally cleaned and put it right back up on the wall. |

I started making hand cut squares to 9-patches, then fence rails, then I quit for 20 years and my first rotary quilt was a bargello flag.
|
I just recently put a nine patch into a mug rug for my sister. still a fan favorite here.
|
my first quilting project was a table runner using the rail fence.
Next, a doll quilt using the 9 patch. Next, another doll quilt using the checkerboard technique. Next, the disappearing 9 patch!!! I've only been quilting 2 1/2 years but those first projects were great for perfecting my 1/4 inch seam, matching seams, and learning machine quilting. the 9 patch has not disappeared!!! |
