Here are six scrappy disappearing 9 patch's...they are very busy/confusing and only 6-1/4". If I continue with them, I will need to set them with an alternating plain dark block to calm the fabrics. What do you think?

This is my first attempt with the D9P, I like the technique!

Hi Swan Song...you are soooo sweet to include me. I appreciate that very much. You did not miss me...I have been hanging around (I love the disapearing 9patch so much) and if I can get a handle on the scraps and get some cut....i would like to make a dissapearing 9patch and be a part of your group....I am planning a generous lap quilt and was going to make a Warm Wishes, but I have spent 4 hours or so reading all the pages and tutorials and now want to make the 9patch quilt instead. I am way behind as we are into July but would like to give it a try.

The thing is I will probably use the material I bought for the Warm wishes....is that ok?.....it's not scraps, not yet anyway.

and Swan Song ...big big, thank yous for the managing scraps site....I think I can start tomorrow getting some of it sorted out.

You are most kind....hugs SG

I like the busy look :wink: Keep going :thumbup:

Swan Song

Ok swimer girl I will add you to our group. :-)

wilhelmina, I think they make it look like a crazy quilt. I would just have fun with it. I could see some embroidery or decorative stitches in it. I think it's great. :thumbup:

Here's what I made today out of four 9-patches. I'm thinking of making it into a small bag or purse. I used only 2 fabrics, and alternated like this:

2 blocks
dark,light,dark
light,dark,light
dark,light,dark

2 blocks
light,dark,light
dark,light,dark
light,dark,light

Then when I cut 'em (4 blocks cut make 16 squares) I used 2 squares from each set to make each block. Sew 'em all together and it's kindof a cool pattern. I'm happy with it, at least!

Oh, and they're made from 2" squares so the pieces are a bit tiny to work with. Next time I'll probably do 3" squares.

Good work MegsAnn, looks swell!
