disappearing 9-patch quilt-a-long

this weeks step will cover making the 9-patches

sort your 120 square novelty prints into 4 equal groups
place those squares in the 4 corners of a 9-patch layout
place your neutral squares between the novelty squares
and
place your tone on tone squares in the center

take the squares in the top row to the sewing machine
piece them with a 1/4" seam
return them to the layout

take the squares in the middle row to the sewing machine
piece them with a 1/4" seam
return them to the layout

take the squares in the bottom row to the sewing machine
piece them with a 1/4" seam
return them to the layout

the last step for this week is to sew the 3 rows together with a 1/4" seam
and press the blocks

Disappearing 9-patch Quilt Along

I'm sharing the quilt above here on my blog.
It's my original layout.

This is the 2nd quilt I'll be making with the same layout and block size.
My quilt will have 30 disappearing 9-patch blocks, they will be made with 5" cut squares.
The quilt will also have a border (same fabric as the center block or not your choice).

You will need 30 tone on tone fabric 5" cut squares for the centers of your 30 blocks.
You will need 120 background fabric 5" cut squares for the 30 blocks.
You will need 120 focus fabric 5" cut squares for the 30 blocks or 120 different novelty fabrics 5" cut squares

The quilt will be full size.

I will start piecing this week and update the blog with the next step soon.
