What gorgeous fabric. I love them all but especially that butterfly one.
I have a question that is only kind of "on topic" for this. Can someone explain why this particular block is called a disappering nine patch?? I am at a loss. However the more quilts I see done in this simple yet great block the more I am thinking I might want to make one myself. I was just wondering why D9P has that name as to me it bears no resemblance to a 9 patch but maybe I am missing some clever subtility to it.

well, it does start out as a 9 patch and after it is cut it dissapears! that is my thinking. I too kept looking at them and love it so this is my take on it. It is an easy one to do & with many patterns to choose from!
