The name of this is a play on words – this is a variation of a disappearing nine patch, ‘neuf’ being French for ‘nine’ and grapes equal wine?! A bit tortuous I suppose but it amuses me... doesn't take much! The blocks were left overs from the OBW in my avatar. I FMQd grape tendrils in the centres and feathers in the borders with bubble spines - something I wanted to try, not perfect, need more practice! It’s size renders it suitable as a small throw or as a table topper or wall hanging - 40” x 40”. Thanks for looking. :-D

I looooove it! Nice use of your left-overs. We were moving stuff around while my son puts down new flooring. You all should have seen the look on his face when he picked up the basket (only half-full) of snittles and threads! I told his nothing goes to waste!! Cracked me up!

You should do since you helped come up with it! :lol:

Thanks everyone - I'd like to do a D9P using a four patch kaleidoscope - with QSTs like the kaleidoscope poppies one I did. You just put these blocks in the four outer corners that don't get sliced when you subcut... :D
