Nine Patch Challenge
#1
![Default](/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Our Quilters Guild has given us the challenge of taking a 12.5 inch nine patch square which we then have to create a 14.5 inch mini quilt from it. We can add our own fabrics in any way we want as long as something of the original is there to be seen.
Has anybody any ideas of what I should do. A duplicate of the original nine patch will be available to compare with once our mini quilts are finished.
I am stumped as to how to go about this.

My guild is having a block challenge too. My block is different black and white fabric, strip pieced in 2 1/2" strips. I am cutting the block to make stems for pieced flowers. We have to use all block given to us in anyway we want to make a new quilt, any size. We can add as much fabric as we want. Challenges are fun. I love to see all the results.

I don't remember where I found this link (could very well have been on this forum), but I fell in love with it. It's made with 16-patch, but could adapt to 9 patch.

Would love to see what you end up with. Sounds like a fun challenge.

This lady has some great ideas for slicing things up. Maybe you could get an idea from one of her videos?
