Nine Patch Alternative

 Nine patches before squaring up. I went with the darker fabrics on the corners. This is yet another way to 
get rid of use more of your stash. I'm using some of those 1500 two and a half inch squares that my "wacky" girlfriends and I shared a few years ago.
 All squared up to 6 1/2 inches.
 Now cut nine patch down and across... this is known as the first step in the disappearing nine patch.

Mix them all up.
Now the fun begins.
I'll probably be sewing while watching the Super Bowl tomorrow.

    I love D9P blocks as well - you can create a lot of different designs just by spinning the 4 patches around in different directions!

    D9P quilts are fun to make. I've made some where I mixed up the pieces and assembled them at random...and I've done others where the arrangement was very carefully planned. Be sure to show us when it's done.

    I haven't tried them that small, so I'll be interested in seeing what they look like - great, I'm sure!
