Well I went back and bought a 3rd fabric for my d9p. I posted the pic of the fabric on the pictures page. I can't start on this until I finish a couple of other projects but I'll keep you all posted.

Here's one of my "tossed 9s" quilts. I really like how it turned out. It's in Strawberry Splendor fabrics.

That's really pretty. I hope mine turns out. I'll let you guys know when I've started it.

Here's another variation of Tossed 9s -- in ocean colors. I don't do a pattern, per se, because I like the really tossed look. I called this one "9s Tossed to Sea". You can't see it in the picture, but all the blue colored fabrics have ocean themed prints - fish, seaweed, shells, etc. The solid light tan is lightly marbled to look like sand, and the blue/brown/tan is a shell print. It went to a hospice in Southern California for an auction for their annual fundraiser. I can't wait to see how much it goes for!! Very exciting. Please pray for it - for a lot of money for the hospice. Thanks!!!

I don't have a link to EB's 9 patch. It was on one of her shows on tv.

Cut two pieces of fabric the same size. They need to be square. Put them right sides together and sew one side. Then sew the opposite side. With the blocks sewn together cut the blocks in thirds. The center pieces that are not sewn may be larger than the two pieces that are sewn together. I just cut a little from those pieces so that they are the same size as the sewn pieces. You then sew one loose piece to each of the sewn pieces. The blocks will now have 3 strips sewn together. You put the two blocks right side together and sew them together again. You then cut into thirds again and sew the loose pieces to the sewn blocks.

You now have two completed 9 patch blocks.
