"Design a quilt for 6" (finished size) Nine Patch blocks. You may draw patches around the Nine Patch to create a new block, but you must maintain the complete Nine Patch unit. If the Nine Patch is part of a block, be sure to size the whole block so the Nine Patch unit will still be 6" square. Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to maintain a set SIZE for the target block in your design." - Barb Vlack

I drew a variation of the Grape Basket block to accept a 9-Patch element.
Sizing the block to 22" accommodated the 6" (finished size) 9-Patch.
I love the Blueberry Pie palette from the EQ web site (free POM for 11/2004)
and threw in some grapes as well.

A lot of 6" (finished size) Nine Patches will fit into this quilt!
I enjoy setting blocks on point along with blocks on square because I think
it adds a lot of visual movement to the quilt.
I have actually made this quilt with blocks received in an exchange. Of
course, I designed it first with EQ5! I used over 150 Nine Patch blocks
in this quilt.

The block is based on the 54-40 or Fight block in the EQ block libraries.

The very center is a nine patch, within a nine patch, within another
nine patch, within yet another nine patch. The nine patch snowballs,
shoofly's, and stars are set in a positive negative setting next to
each other, but the settings are the same in the extreme opposite
of each other.

I was going for a look with floating blocks. All nine patch blocks
are in a horizontal setting. I modified a snowball block by taking
off the HST on one side and rotating it around a basic nine patch
block. When I finished it reminded me of a woven plaid shirt, hense
the name 9-Patch Plaid.

Based on a 6" "9-patch" this block just evolved. The
block reminds me of flowers and apple cores!

Based on a 6" 9-patch" I designed myself. I then added
to the block to give it more interest and movement.

Yes, there are 48 nine-patch blocks hidden in this traditional half-square
triangle setting. Each of them has an extra strips on all four sides
with fabric shaded from light to dark.

Same block, this time with sashing added,
and the whole layout shaded from a bright centre to darker corners.

Started with the above layout and inserted the Time and Tide Nine
Patch from the EQ Library.
I didn't change any of the solids but this quilt would look equally
as good if using prints.

What freedom! On a custom set, I placed my nine-patches on a non-45°
tilt (150 on the EQ scale) and didn't worry about lining blocks up
with each other -- even placed spacers between a few.
I was surprised by the variety of ideas that popped up when we were
not allowed to go wild in our choice of blocks.

The only restriction I feel with this scrappy quilt is the final
size using 6-inch blocks -- it would fit a queen-size bed but the
'crosses' would not be placed very well. It would make a colorful
and easy couch throw with 3-inch blocks, though.

Hey, the directions said "use a 9-patch" so I made a 9
patch! A bit silly perhaps, but since I seem good at silly... I did
give it some dignity by using the swanky Paris Please pallette.

Testing my skills and trying to increase my ability to use more color.

The nine patches seem to be soldiers in the background.
|
Though the nine patches appear different sizes, they are all 6 in.
It is amazing what the surrounding environment does.
Dieting must be getting to me!

This reminds me of argile socks!!!
