Disappearing Nine Patch Quilt Instructions


Here is a link to instructions I made for friends to make a Disappearing Nine Patch.




The size of the patches can be any size but 4" and 5" patches seem to work best, smaller the second cut makes everything VERY small, with lots of seams to match. If you cut larger patches, you lose the design, but this could be a way to use fussy cut fabrics. Of course that means tinkering with the initial layout unless you don't mind chickens standing on their heads.



Here is the scrappy one I made with sashing between the blocks, I love the nine patches that form at the intersections of the sashing and the blocks.
I love this perky blue and yellow version with the red sashing! It has a Provencal feeling.




And here is the pretty one Lynn G. made for her sister. Love the green sashing.


And this one that Mary Ann made that started the Disppearing nine Patch rush with our group.



And Apollonias made for the granddaughter who loves purple. She used 5 1/2" patches to start with, what she had on hand.

Love your disappearing 9 patches! I especially like the first one, that black with the gold colored cornerstones really makes it all pop!

I have never seen a D9P that I did not like. Good work, all.

Cheers,
