I've relented to using my scissors again. The new blades for my rotor cutter isn't working well. If I'm going to cut one layer at a time I might as well use my scissors. ~sigh~, it's always something, huh?
I just had to vent, but I love these nine patches. I have lots of patches cut, just have to sit down and sew them together.
Oh see my new thread....."What a find!"
Blessings,
Ruth

As a beginner, I had NO idea that there are as many 9 patches as there are! I thought the 9 patch was just 9 squares sewn together, LOL. I didn't know this block was so versatile! I have learned SEW much here! (Now if I could just get my butt OFF the computer and into my sewing room!

Okay, I want to understand the 3, 6, 9" discussion. I cut some 2 1/2" strips tonight so I can get some 9 patches made. By my calculation that will end up with a 6" finished block. So if I wanted to do some 9 or 12" blocks, what width would I cut the strips to make the blocks.
Sorry it is just too late to do the math for me, and I used to be really good at it. Must be the old age.
Mine will be scrappy most likely but have the usual problem. Very little light fabric to work with. I will have to look in my stash some more because I didn't want to buy fabric.

If you want 9" blocks, you would cut 3-1/2" strips. If you want 12" blocks, you would cut 4-1/2" strips. Hope that helps.

Thank you so much! I will have to look for some bigger scraps.
