I’m thrilled the quilter’s world is full of creative people! Take the Nine Patch block design for example, oh, my, goodness! Creating a simple “Nine Patch” is pretty self-explanatory ~ take 9 squares of equal size fabric (say 4.5"), stitch three together, 3 more together, and another 3 together, then stitch the 3 rows to make the block - clear as mud, I know! A simple 9 patch quilt can be stunning within itself! It's all about color and placement. I found these on Pinterest after searching "9-Patch": Nine patch blocks also works beautifully with other blocks. For examples I went again to Pinterest! (Have you noticed, I love Pinterest! It's the greatest thing since sliced bread!) Nine patch blocks mixed with Half Square Triangles, like we did yesterday! Or, a same-size solid block will make the 9 patch block pop out nicely, like this one! I took a "simple" nine patch with narrow sashing, and created a wall hanging for my niece... look closely, it's a completed Sudoku puzzle! I shared how I worked it out last year in this article. But, how do we take a simple nine patch block and make them even more spectacular without all the tedious detailed work? I made 3 of these nine patch blocks (each for the bottom/top of this quilt), keeping the color/print arrangement the same on each block I created. I cut the blocks up like Jenny Doan from Missouri Star Quilt Company shows in her video, rearranged, then re-stitched, making the 9 patches “disappear”! I wrote about it in detail back in March, and shared Jenny’s amazing video! While looking through Pinterest, I’m discovering the “disappearing 9-patch” is as versatile in arranging to make different “looks” as a log cabin block… it’s all in how you turn the “mini blocks” and stitch back together! This is a lovely disappearing 9-patch quilt a friend of mine recently created! Great job, Ellie! I love the way she arranged the "mini blocks" and added sashing! In researching for this article, I stumbled upon cutting a nine patch diagonally (both ways) then re-stitching! Take a look at how Scraps of This and That blog explained with lots of pictures! I’ve not yet tried this, but it is high on my to-do list! Just one more... she calls it the Double Trouble Disappearing Nine Patch! Clever lady! Experiment. Play. Enjoy!
It is time to move on to block 13, of the I dropped the button box crazy quilt. I know many people enjoy monotone crazy quilt blocks and I hope people will enjoy seeing it in more detail over the next week or so. As you can see there are 6 …

This is Moni's block for Quilting Under the Rainbow. My first bee block, and my first paper foundation-pieced block! I love how precise paper-piecing is, and wasn't too difficult once I got the hang of it and figured out which side of the fabric to keep where! I did a practice block with some scraps before diving in with Moni's fabric, which was a good idea. That practice block has holes in it. My contributed colors are the light and dark blues. Thanks, Moni, for picking a great block-- I learned a new skill! Blogged here.
I am so excited to kick off the Modern Half Square Triangle Quilt-a-Long! Today I'll share with you my inspiration for this quilt-a-long and the supplies you will need, and starting next week we'll start working on the blocks! I saw this pin a few weeks ago, and I was captivated. I loved it, and when I clicked through the pin, and found that the man who created the design used the Perl program, and that he made it for his then-girlfriend, and that she made the quilt for him as a wedding present, I knew this was right up my alley! (I have emailed the gentleman who wrote the program that created all the blocks to ask his permission to host this quilt-a-long, but I haven't heard back from him.) I loved the look of the blocks in black and white, and thought it would be fun to take these traditional block designs and make them 'modern' by only using two colors. (I am the type of person who likes to make things in the colors I first see them in, so this is really no surprise!) I couldn't figure out how to assemble the blocks without drawing them all out, so I grabbed my gridded notebook and my black colored pencil and got busy. There are 72 blocks, so this will take 72 weeks! Don't stress though - you can cut the fabric for several blocks at once, and assemble the blocks as you can. Each finished block will measure 8.5 inches. Feel free to make your blocks smaller or larger (you will need to adjust fabric requirements accordingly). I first made a few blocks 12.5 inches, so I'll compare those for you so you can see what you like best! Supplies: 5 yards each of two colors (or as many colors you would like to use!) Rotary cutter, clear acrylic ruler, self-healing cutting mat, marking pen (more on this next time), lots of thread, sewing machine, iron This yardage requirement assumes that you will cut 3.5 inch squares to trim down to 2.5 inch HSTs. I find that if I sew a scant 1/4 inch seam allowance I can use 3 inch squares to start. This requires far less yardage. You may want to try out your seam allowance to see what you can get away with. I will post one new block each Monday - and we will finish our quilt in January 2014! Yikes! I do think this is the best method - you can do four blocks at a time at the end of the month if that is easier. I recommend making several HSTs at once - it is easier to batch cut, sew and trim! Come back next Monday to see the first block! I am so excited! Even if you haven't made a quilt before, I think you can handle this one, so please jump in and join us - I am happy to answer questions as we go!

Aika paljon tuli kyselyitä, kuinka olen tehnyt edellisen postauksen blokin. Tässä on nyt toinen ommeltuna ja otin kuvia myös työvaiheista. Näin kapeissa raidoissa pienetkin heitot näkyvät helposti, joten kokeilin kolmea eri tekniikkaa. Paper piecing osoittautui minusta kaikkein parhaimmaksi ja sillä sai kaikkein tarkimmat raidat. Tuo aikaisempi pussukka on tehty hieman eri tavalla. Jos innostaa pienen 4 1/4" kokoisen #ministripeblock näpertäminen, niin tässä kuvia siitä, kuinka sen itse tein. Pahoittelen, että mitat ovat vain tuumissa, sillä käytän vain tuumaviivaimia. *** I have got quite a few questions how I made the mini block of the previous post . Now I have made another one and took some pictures of the process. I tried three different methods to make those narrow stripes and I think with paper piecing I got the best result. If you are interested to try this 4 1/4" size #ministripeblock here is how I made it. The measurements are in inches because those are what I mainly use. Piirsin tilkkutyöviivainta apuna käyttäen 1/4" viivoituksen pois revittävälle kuitukankaalle. Yhteensä 10 raitaa eli 11 viivaa. Pituuden ei ole niin väliä, kunhan se on vähintään 3 1/2". Ylimääräinen tasoitetaan myöhemmin. Leikkasin 10kpl eri värisiä kaitaleita. Käytin 3/4" leveyttä, mikä oli aika hyvä. On paljon helppoja paper piecing tekniikoita mutta olen tottunut tähän ja sillä saa tarkkaa jälkeä. *** Draw 10 pcs 1/4" wide stripes using a quilt ruler . That means 11 lines. I don't know the English name for this paper but it's kind of tearable non woven fabric. The length doesn't matter as long as it is at least 3 1/2". Cut 10 pieces 3/4" wide stripes of fabric. There are many easy paper piecing methods but I'm used to this one because the results is precise. Ompele kaitaleet paper piecingillä normaaliin tapaan. Piston pituutena käytin 2. Huom! Jätä kangasta saumavaraksi viivoituksen molempiin sivuihin. *** Paper piece stripes along the lines. I used stitch length 2. NB! Leave a seam allowance on both of the outermost lines. Tasoita blokki niin, että siitä tulee 3" x 3" kokoinen. Älä leikkaa siis piirrosviivoja pitkin, vaan mittaa niistä 1/4" saumavaraa, kuten keltaisessa blokissa. *** Trim the block to size 3" x 3". Don't cut along the drawing line but measure 1/4" seam allowance from it, like on the yellow block. Yhteensä tarvitaan neljä blokkia. Leikkaa blokit halki neljään osaan kulmasta kulmaan. Tein blokeista selkeästi eri värisiä, niin kuviot erottuvat paremmin. *** You'll need four blocks in total. Cut the blocks into four parts from corner to corner. For each block I used only different shades of one color as to make the pattern more clear. Kun värisommitelma on mieleisessä järjestyksessä, ompele palat yhteen. Tein pystyraidoista ja vaakaraidoista omat blokit. En repinyt pois tuota paperia, sillä se tuki sopivasti ja osia oli helpompi käsitellä. Saumavaroihin tuli tietysti lisää tavaraa mutta kyllä ne taipuivat ihan ok. *** When the layout is to your liking, sew the pieces together. I sewed the vertical triangles together and the horizontals together. I didn't tear the paper away because it was easier to sew the tiny pieces with it on. The seams are quite thick but you can handle them. Anna reilusti höyryä, niin saumat asettuvat muotoonsa. Nyt sinulla pitäisi olla noin 4 1/4" kokoinen blokki. Vasemmalla oleva on "mini mini", sillä tein sen ensin erehdyksessä kahdeksalla kaitaleella. Senkin voi käyttää johonkin tosi pieneen. Vähän kärsivällisyyttä ja tarkkuutta tämä vaatii mutta tuloksena on nätti blokki. *** Use plenty of steam and the block will get its shape. Now you should have about 4 1/4" block. The left one is "mini mini" because made it accidentally with eight stripes. I'll use it on some very tiny pouch later. You just need a little patience and precision but the end result is a very pretty block.
It's my turn on the Riley Blake Designs Block Challenge #rbdblockchallenge and in an earlier blog post I asked if anyone had any guesses on what my block would consist of. A couple of you guessed a star or a pinwheel. For those of you who guessed star - you are correct! Stars are truly my favorite block element for a quilt followed not too far behind by the pinwheel. As some of you may know, I was absent here on my blog for the last (3) blocks due to Covid-19. I plan on writing a blog post later this week on what all went down and how grateful I am to be here, this morning, writing this post! 2/21/2021: Quick update to the above paragraph. I didn't get it written. Fingers crossed time will allow me to get it done next week. Because of my absence, my dear quilting friend and Gem Stone extraordinaire sewer for Planted Seed Designs, Lisa Garber @thecurvyquilter, jumped in (without asking) and made my block for me! Lisa is NO stranger to my blog. She has sewn some incredible quilts for me over the past 18+ months and honestly, I'm not sure what I would do without her and a few of my other sewers AND long arm quilter! Please check out all her fabulous quilts in these earlier blog posts here and here and here! OK, without further ado, Lisa's 9-Patch Star Block! I absolutely LOVE it! I intentionally designed a block that wasn't intimidating and would come together quickly! The block Lisa made for me is how I submitted it to Riley Blake Designs at the beginning of this block challenge BUT later I was playing around with color and placement and look how many "looks" you can create with the 9-Patch Star Block! A bouquet of tulips (above)! A scrappy-patchwork (above)! and a center cross (above) Aren't they fun?! Gives you something to think about as you begin to plan your fabrics and placement for the 9-Patch Star Block. I had so much fun "playing" with the different looks of the blocks, I decided to use them ALL in a row quilt! A very simple, straight forward design that would be quick and easy to sew up during our "break period" next week. And to make it even easier, we're offering it as a KIT here! The kit includes ALL the (16) Gem Stone Bright fabrics used in the design plus background and binding! As mentioned at the beginning of this post, Lisa made my 9-Patch Star block but she also caught me up and made the (3) blocks I missed while in the hospital. Check out these beauties . . . . Block 9: Sugar Candy (above) Designed by my dear and special friend, Jill Finley of Jillily Studios! Pattern can be found here! Block 10: Lady of the Lake (above) Designed by Amanda Castor of @materialgirlquilts Pattern can be found here! Block 11: Glint (above) Designed by Melissa Mortenson of @polkadotchair Pattern can be found here! Glint and 9-Patch Star share some similar characteristics but still very different! I hope you enjoy creating your very own 9-Patch Star block and I'm extra curious if you'll make it the way I submitted it to Riley Blake Designs or if you'll take a different direction. Please let me know in the comments! Don't forget! This is the last block for May. We're taking a break next week to catch up on our blocks or make more blocks or just chill because you know, summer is right around the corner! Happy 9-Patch Star Sewing! Gerri PS: I was able to get my version of the Sugar Candy block by Jill Finley done before Covid-19 struck and I wanted to share it with you here: I like Lisa's version better; but I was intrigued that we had the same idea just our tones are different; her's light, mine dark! So, the above are my (9) blocks that will be mixed and mingled with Lisa's (7) blocks (the (3) above and the (4) blocks coming in June)! This quilt will hold so much more meaning to me than when we started. Gerri
