We did this block at our guild meeting. When you lay it out, there is a secondary design that pops out. Very nice design. Depending on the fabric selections, it can be very graphic/contempory. Hope you all try it.

I think Dagny did this with a 9P for one of her tops. I know GrammaNancy has some examples with her blocks, also quilt queen 2 did some and I did some in flannel. I wish I had somemore of that flannel would have made a great guy's quilt.

Oh wow! that is really neat with the 9p! I need to look over those tutes though and see how its done....this one was easy cause there was one main seam to cut around...having a hard time figuring out how to do it with a 9p.

I just whipped one up to figure it out because my brain isn't functioning this early in the am (well I did wake up at 4 am -its 7:36 now). Whatever size block you start with it will reduce it by an inch. I used 3 inch squares so I started out with a 5 1/2 inch 4 patch when done I had a 4 1/2 inch disappearing 4 patch. However I should have cut the center block smaller. It's definitely a block to play with.
