Disappearing 9 Patches are so much fun and super fast to make!!! They were some of the first quilts that I learned to make. It is simply starting with a 9 patch, and then cutting it in half vertically and horizontally, flipping 2 blocks, and sewing them back together. And just like that, adorable disappearing 9 patch quilts!!!
And then I tried a new little twist of making the 9 patch blocks, slicing them, but then instead of sewing them back together, adding some fun sashing. I love the added modern flair it gives it ;)
And I still kept playing with this block!!! I discovered that by playing with the placement of the colors in your 9 patch blocks, you could create all new variations. These look like they are 4 patches that have been sashed, but nope, just a disappearing 9 patch block that is so much faster than sashing ;) I did a tutorial way back when for these that you can check out here if you want to make your own ;)
Anyhow, if you haven't tried a Disappearing 9 Patch block yet, you totally want to add it to your "To Make" list. They are so much fun and super fast and the possibilities are endless!!!
How pretty! I just love the fun, colorful one with the sashing, but they are all so cute!
ReplyDeleteI really love your modern flair -- I'll need to try this soon!
ReplyDeleteThat is a fun way to change up a simple block. I finished a very scrappy version recently and it is so colorful and fun. :) I absolutely love the colors of the one on the chair. What fabric line is that?
ReplyDeleteI like that sashing look too!
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty cool the way you change up the disappearing 9 patch. I need to play with them next time I cut some up.
