Just another mini tutorial

Pin It

Let's make a Disappearing 9 patch tutorial with a little different look. The finished size is a 12 inch mini quilt.

Grab some fun fabrics, I had some leftover Amelia by Me and My Sister from the Worldly Lil Twister quilt that I made last fall. I received the beautiful fabrics from Vicki and Judy at Quilting Lodge and guess what? Next Monday I am going to have another giveaway sponsored by them! 

I started out making 4 - 9 patch blocks out of 2.5 inch squares. Looking at the photos you can see I used 4 of the blue prints, 4 of the tone on tone prints and 1 pink center.

Cut the block down the center. It should measure 1 inch from the seam.

 Now turn and cut down the center again.

 Rotate the blocks  as shown and sew together.

 You will have 4 Disappearing 9 patch blocks.

 Arrange as shown.

 Cut strips of the tone on tone 1.25 inches wide by the length of your block (I usually just cut a strip the width of my fabric).

 Join 2 blocks together and then repeat for the other 2 blocks.

 Sew one more strip along one side then sew the other section to it.

 Here is your completed block.

I did a small stipple loop quilting in the background areas. I didn't have enough of the Amelia line of fabrics for the binding but....I had just bought some new fabrics from Me and My Sister and the color coordinated perfectly!

I have one center pink block that is a tad bit too big, oops...but when it's up on the wall it isn't noticeable.

This is a simple D9P or Disappearing 9 Patch but I thought it would be fun to show it using the same fabrics in each block and then combining 4 blocks.

You can see it up on my wall........Builder Bob is installing another light in my room, love that guy!

Just wondering.....would you know it was a Disappearing 9 patch just by looking at it?
