    Default Disappearing nine patch question

    Has anyone every made a whole quilt using just 3 fabrics for this pattern? I have tried to search but this new one is confusing for me.

    Thanks

    Do you mean with the 4 corners one fabric, the center a different fabric and the 4 middles a diff fabric? That would work. All your blocks would be the same which would be fine, imo

    Yes I have and it turned out great. I will post a picture when I return home in a couple days. I really like the three color better. Mine is yellow with blue center. I prefer the structure and look of the minimal selection of color/pattern

    So glad you asked this question. I like the design in the picture and hadn't been able to figure out exactly how to get this effect. Now I need to find the time to make one.

    I did a twisted version with 3 fabrics. After I cut the 9 patches, I added half-square triangles and mixed them in with at least 1 normal D9P block to create different stars. I'll try to attach a picture.[ATTACH=CONFIG]281650[/ATTACH] I did most of the blocks while on vacation in the summer of 2010 using my old mechanical machine, Martelli Rotary Cutter, small cut & press board and 2 square rulers--6.5" and 12.5". Hubby & the kids fuss when I make them leave extra space to haul my mini, mobile quilt studio but they get over it--LOL.
