A block of many names...it's been around awhile. I got to it.
Try it, you'll like it.
I was trying to explain this popular block to a gal at church,
so I thought I'd show her.
I started with 5" strip sets, but you could also use 5" charm squares.
You can do any size square.
Then cut the strips into 5" pieces.
Sewed my nine patch together, then cut it down the middle.
Then cut it again the other way -- now it's quartered.
Then rotated the two blue squares so they touch in the middle.
There's your block. It's out of planes, trains, & automobiles.
Piece of cake! Easy Easy
Cake reminds me of pie.
Pie...
We needed to look at that fabric again. mmmm good
Okay, back to it.
Made a crib size for my church humanitarian group. 
Got it tied this weekend and it's off to a new home.
Got it tied this weekend and it's off to a new home.
Made a goodnight monkey one at the retreat. Used a fat quarter in the middle.
zzzzzzz.....zzzzzzz.....
It's a fun, quick block. 
yes, I have finally done this pattern - in purple. basted the baby quilt before the weekend and hope to complete the whole thing this week so I can baste/quilt the remaining two baby quilts. I butchered up the quilt this round because I did not calculate carefully so it will be easier for me to cut the block into quarters. Look like I may be making a second one soon.
ReplyDeleteYou make it look so easy. I think I'll have to have a go. I love the fabrics especially the monkey fabric.

I've made this pattern! I like to keep rotating, to see which way I like it best, and I love how different it looks each time!

ReplyDeleteI have made a few of those myself, they work up fast and each one is so different.
ReplyDeleteLoved the rest of your quilts as well.
Well that one doesnt look too hard, will have to add it to my to do list.
ReplyDeleteI like how you started with the strips. Always thinking...

ReplyDeleteCool! I just blocks from an exchange and I can't wait to get started on it.

ReplyDeleteHia Corrie, thank you for visiting my blog. I would've posted this comment on your most recent post but I had a problem.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you've been having fun with your 9 patches. :-) Good luck with your giveaway.
Just found this from a Google search. Thank you for the steps! I love the strip way to do a nine patch, and putting a fat quarter in the middle!
