Disappearing nine patch using a layer cake?
#3
You can do the d9p with any size squares you want but the larger the beginning squares the less squares it would take. However, the larger squares will show off a special fabric better. Also, the larger the beginning squares the less patchworky (word?) the quilt will be. Clear as mud? :)
If you have layer cakes and want smaller square just cut them in 4ths to make charms.

If it's a smaller print, I'd probably whack 'em down into quarters. Smaller prints kind of lose their punch in large, unbroken spaces.

Check out Slice of Life quilt in MSQC Block magazine, issue 4. Jenny may have a YouTube on it. You put together the 9 layer cake pieces with 2 1/2" sashing between them. Then cut each huge 9 patch in half. I'm just finishing one and am pleased with it and it was a great way to use a pretty layer cake. I will try postin a picture later this week.
