That app would be totally useless to the OP for answering her question about the Blooming 9-patch however, with or without the appropriate gadget. You need the pattern, not the block.

Ghostrider, actually I really appreciate the info about the app and I'm pretty sure I can piece the blooming 9-patch without the pattern and / or book, just wanted to make sure I started with a big enough chunk of fabric!

Dunster - I LOVE this book. My avatar is the Jamaica quilt from that book ( her colors in the book are not the best at all )......and I think every quilter/piecer who wants to try strip piecing should have this book. The patterns are truly "Traditions with a Twist"......

This book is not out of print at this time, however can be purchased for a good price other than the publisher. This is my favorite book of all times. Every pattern is perfect. I have made several Bloomin...All wonderful. I have taken several classes from Blanche. What a great person. She is now in a rest home in California after breaking her hip. Her daughter owns a great quilt store in our town. This is a must have book for everyone! Has been a long time seller for CT Publishing and still going strong. Blanche was honored a few years back in Houston for her innovative contribution to quilting with her method of strip piecing. Love especially my Jamaica. Love them all.
