BUT BUT BUT. The first pic does not have a split 9 patch in it. Ther are only 8 HST per block in the first quilt pic, and for that matter in the other pics shown. And those triangle squares are 2 per side.

I guess you could make this quilt with a split 9 patch, but you'd have to be very diligent matching that pink triangle from a print piece and a pink triangle from a white piece. I guess the other half of each was discarded since I only see the one pink outside square.

Thank you, eparys, for the illustration of the ninepatch with the the half-square triangles. I can easily make this with just your little illustration. I can hardly wait for my pile of scraps to just turn themselves into squares so I can make this quilt. Tee-Hee!

Well, whatever this is called or however a person chooses to make it, I've just found the quilt I'm going to make with my 2.5 inch squares! I think I'll use the QC "split 9 patch" directions as those blocks will work up quickly and will allow a great deal of variability. Thanks for sharing all those pix and directions. Very informative! Beautiful quilts btw!

Can of Worms?
I never heard of that book but I have heard and said that very often! I just realized that is what I have been doing all these years! Starting a quilt I am sorry about later...just like opening a can of worms. Now at least I know what to call it or, more accurately, them!

If I was going to do this, this is how I would do it:
The lower drawings were my first attempt at it - because I saw it as a 4x4 block with "sashings" -
The tops drawings are how I probably would assemble it after looking at it more carefully.
There is usually more than one way to assemble a block or a quilt top!
