...For some reason the good old 9 patch has taken a back seat as a beginning quilting project. What has happened. One must learn to crawl and walk before running toward "New York Beauties"; Double Wedding Roings" and other complicated designs.

I am teaching a friend to quilt also and we are just starting with 5" squares to perfect seam allowances and to line up seams. I can't imagine starting with anything more advanced than simple blocks!!

I'm working on one now, alternating the 9P block with hourglass blocks. My first class started with 4P and the instructor told us at the end of the class that we didn't need to "bother" making any 9P since we had already mastered the 4P. Needless to say, I've made quite a few of those 9P since I left that class.
