Materials:
Fabric Key:
A~ Dark prints Cut: 3~2½" squares & 2~3" squares
B~ Light prints Cut: 3~2½" squares & 2~3" squares
Instructions:
- Cut fabrics A + B [Rotary Cutting]
- Make 3 pairs of half-square triangles [Half-Square Triangles~ Pair] using the fabric A + B 3" squares. You will have a leftover half-square triangle.
Square up each unit to 2½" square.
- Lay out the block, as illustrated.
Block Layout
Sew [Machine Piecing] the patches and units together, as follows:
-Sew the first two patch & unit together, in each row. Sew the last patch/unit, to the first two.
-Sew the rows together, matching the seams.
- Block [Blocking].

Really interesting idea, but there seems to be a lot of information missing to complete this. It would also be nice to see a completed quilt using your idea. Thx

This is so cool. I love it and want to make it. I'm a beginner at quilting so can someone tell me how many blocks I need to make and how big is this quilt anyway?

I haven't made this either but I was just trying to figure it up too. I think 64 total 9 patch blocks. 32 lights and 32 darks. And it might be about 48 x 48

I am pleased with this variation on the nine-patch. Really give an old pattern a new look. PC

I would like if you are giving quilt patterns that they be complete.. what size is this quilt? How much fabric? How many squares are required to complete? For someone who is not real expierenced... this is much lacking in instructions.
