Are there any nine patch swaps currently open to new members? I recently saw this quilt made from a swap that was beautiful and would like to make one. Please let me know if there are any in the process now. Thank you.

I don't think there is one currently going on, but you can check the swap page to make sure. You could always ask an admin for permission... And you are right, that is a cute quilt!

That would be a great idea Faintly Artistic. I'd like to share 9 patches .... just name your theme.

It would make a fun scrappy nine-patch swap, like the scrappy Hunters Star swap from a few years ago. There are so many fun layouts and setting to do with the blocks too; on point, alternating snowball blocks, single Irish chain, so many ideas!

What a delightful idea!

I agree-- so many ways to use a 9 Patch.

I'm so happy that there is interest in a nine patch swap. Someone is checking with the administrator if hosting one is permitted. Please keep watching if one will be possible.

Here is the link to the original post where I saw the nine patch block swap - hope you like it as much as I do.

I'll be watching to see! A scrappy 9-patch quilt has been on my bucket list for a while.

Great post. I really like the size block she used of 6.5" unfinished. I could use up some of my 2.5" strips that keep multiplying!

I'd be interested if it was kept to 2 colors per 9 patch. Any scrappier than that will lose definition when you put them all together. So who's organizing this?
