Disappearing 9 Patch quilt instructions for 68 X 92


To find out how to make the blocks just Google “disappearing 9 patch” for other tutorials for inspiration!



Shopping list:


Blender #1: 1 ¼ yard


Blender #2: 1 ¼ yard


Blender (for the center of each block # 1 and block #2): ¾ yard


Medium scale floral or print # 1 (for the corners) 1 ¼ yard


Medium scale floral or print # 2 (for the corners) 1 ¼ yard


Large scale focus print ( for the border fabric) 1 3/8 yard




Make 18 9-patch blocks. Each individual cut block is 4.5” square. You could use charm packs too. The blocks just have to large enough to make a 12” block or similar size…not too small because you will cut the block into “quarters” ! For this particular quilt size, you will cut each square 4 ½” .


To get the pattern on my quilt, I made 2 sets of blocks in complementary colors.


Block 1: Make 18 blocks


• Blender # 1 (position blocks between the corners)
• Cream tone on tone (centered)
• Medium floral or print # 1 (position blocks on the corners)


Block 2: Make 18 Blocks
Blender #2: (position blocks between the corners)
Cream tone on tone (centered)
Medium floral or print # 2 (position blocks on the corners)




BLOCK LAYOUT: 5 blocks across by 7 blocks down


(After assembling the quilt, you will end up with 1 extra block but hey, it’s good practice!)
Once you make the blocks for the quilt, you will literally cut the blocks into 4ths. (photo from the tutorial)




To get the pattern, I re-assembled the blocks by using 2 quartered blocks from each block.
Example from the tutorial:


Notice that where the focal prints are positioned. Just repeat this same layout for all of the blocks to get the pattern in my quilt This quilt went together fairly quickly.


NOTE: A good friend taught her 18 year old grand daughter how to piece her first quilt top using my "pattern". She was thrilled with her first project!

I love the border fabric! Used in a quilt from last year and I have a couple of yards left. Now I know what to do with them!

thanks for the tut... i'll be using it soon!

Nice quilt and thanks for the tut.

Great quilt, thanks for the tut. Are there a few pictures missing? I only have the picture for the completed quilt.

Thanks for the tut, I love the look.

Looks Good!
:thumbup:
I loan or give things away and forget I've done so..............I sure get tired searching all over the house for something I don't even have. :(

Beautiful quilt. The person you lent it to sure knows she didn't make it, shame on her !

Thanks for this! I like the D9P I'm working on but don't love the pinwheel it creates with my fabric. This could be a viable alternative.

That looks great...and a D9P is so quick and easy! Thanks for sharing

thanks for the tute, nice colors

I am working on photos of the block. stay tuned! sandy

I like the way that turned out. Thanks for sharing

wonderful pattern and tut lovely quilt

I love your colors and how you made this. I also found this site that shows all kinds of variations. She's a real nice gal and I like to support her with ideas when I'm not here reading all of yours. Real nice lady in Alaska. She a blogger and shares all of her work plus anyone who sends her stuff on two different sites but I know she supports us because she has added us as a link many times.

I saved both of the links because I think one has more photos than the other one with really neat Disappearing fours, nines, and sixteens.

These demonstrate the concept of my DPN tutorial.

Cut the blocks into quarters.

Now lay these out by taking 2 from each block. All blocks are laid out the same.

Arrange the blocks in the same direction to get the pattern I got in my original tutorial.

Great tute - love the fabrics too!

Love the tute & fabrics are great !

Thanks for the tutorial! Really like the D9P. So versatile1

One of my favorite blocks. I like how you switched them around. I also love the D4 Patch. They both look much more complicated than they are.

Good job, love the fabrics, looks like you are on your way to a very pretty quilt.

Absolutely love the way you did this disappearing 4 patch. So much more complicated looking than it is.

Love your colors and how you mixed both blocks

Thanks for sharing...

WONDERFUL TUTORIAL - especially for those of us who learn visually! This is so clear and concise that I will now plan to make several of these. THANKS!!!!!!!

Great tute and really like your blocks.

Easier to understand than a lot of tutes. Thanks

Such an easy tute to follow, and I love your fabrics. Thanks for posting.

Thanks everyone! The fabric is by Michael Miller btw.

Looks great, I like the way you mixed the blocks.
