It's not sewn, just layed the blocks out

If you see any blocks that should be moved, let me know.

Ok let me get this straight. You make a nine patch... And then cut it in four? That part I get lost on. Maybe I can find a picture step by step tutorial... I sure like yours and if its scrappy.... its right up my alley :D

Yes, Bev. Make a 9 patch. Square the block, then cut thru the center of it, to make 4 blocks. Then just arrange and sew. Yes, you can make it scrappy!

Real dumb on this punkin..... sorry. Ok I lay down my 9 patch. Do I make a cut like a cross? Staight up & down then sideways? I imagine, I'll have to measure to see where the center is.......?? Also what size squares?

Of course he doesn't. He's a very manly cat, and he has his pride, even though he does spend his time laying around on soft quilts!

He doesn't lay around. He's holding the furniture down. You DO know about gravity, right? If they don't lay on the furniture, gravity will take over and the furniture will float away! lol
