Glorified nine patch
As anyone here made one? I would like to. I watched some you tubes....quilting from the heartland,F&P-actually two were there, one with traditional center, melon, other with 4 pieces, curved outer pieces(2)' half melon, and center square...I liked how that one worked out....looks like less stress than whole melons...can get tricky attaching rows....I think. Anyway...F&P site only shows 2 piece, so I went hunting......found the one featured, gateway is name of company, then found another, bay creek....any thoughts out there?

I had to look because the name wasn't familiar:

I not crazy about buying templates that work with only just one quilt and I try to avoid curved piecing.

Google Glorified Nine Patch Quilt and there are a couple sites that have free templates. All people for one. It looks like you could also do the circle block with a 9 patch on one side and turn the circle into a square by flipping/sewing together sides of circle. Cheryl Phillips technique. (I think that is her name.) I like that pattern too. It is on my list.

No, I haven't made one, but it's on my list. I have about 6 quilt tops to quilt (all of my own), and one to quilt for my step-mom. I like the idea that yngldy suggested about the circle block with a 9 patch on one side and turn the circle into a square by flipping/sewing together sides of circle.
