Split Nine Patch Quilt Patterns
Well, hello again, my quilty friends! Glad to see that you're back for more. In my last page, ',' I showed you a few fast techniques for making a classic nine-patch block, which is a true staple in the quilting stable. Now, I'll show you a few variations and simple ways to toss up this basic block to make it more interesting and a little bit more exciting.The main variation to this classic quilt block, and it's a good one, is the disappearing nine-patch. As the name implies, the parts of the block seem to disappear through a fantastic puzzle-like effect. So, if you're ready to get going and do something with your nine-patch blocks, I'll show you how.
Step 1: Make two parallel cuts up and down.Step 2: Next, make two more parallel cuts side to side. This will give you three bi-color strips.
One long one that was cut first and two smaller ones that were cut second.Step 3: Then, take the long strip, and make two more cuts to create a small four-patch square that equals the width of your strips. You'll rotate the square and flip all of the longer strips, so that the color of each block alternates as shown.Tip!
How narrow or wide you make the strips is up to you, just remember that you'll lose 1/2 of an inch in width once the two quarter-inch seams are sewn.Step 4: Once again, here comes the fun part, you get to arrange all of your little pieces. What you need to do is reverse the color arrangement of your pieces, so the strips provide alternating colors and contrast. Finally, the mini four-patch block in the center will be rotated to contrast each of its neighbors. Things to Know1.
