February 2006 Challenge: 6 inch Nine-Patch Blocks! (Page 3)

"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 started with a Variable Point layout and made the sashing wider. I used several blocks from the 9 Patch block library, including the standard 9 patch. I played with the size of the larger 9 patch block until the ruler measured 6" on each side (EQ gives block size as 8.5"), and I made the sashing half the size of the block (4.25"). I decided the colors made it look very springlike. Albuquerque, New Mexico	The original block is the Arbor Window. Pasco, WA	The original block again is the Arbor Window. Pasco, WA

The blocks are Nine Patch and March Autograph both from the EQ Block Library. I have been thinking of doing a signature quilt, but wanted to make it look a little different. So I used the combination of both blocks to make arrows pointing to the signatures. Virginia	I used both the Nine Patch and March signature blocks, but changed the colorway from Sign Here. This one can also be used for a signature quilt, but the colors make me think if Spring. Virginia	Youngstown, OH

	Use 6 inch "nine patches". I used the Baby Block layout under New Quilt. Then I colored it and came up with stars. Texas	Use 6 " nine patch blocks. I used the baby block layout. I think I watched too much NASCAR racing last weeking and was affected by the checkered flags and crazy driving! Texas	the Netherlands

I found I could not use the tile-on-point border style and keep the required 6"block size, so I set the border blocks in layer 2. the Netherlands	I had to change the preferences to keep the Nine Patch blocks just 6" and I hope that they have stayed that way! This was set in the On-Point Layout with a block size of 24". I measured the blocks with the ruler, and adjusted until it seemed to be correct and then printed out a template to check for size. This worked out quite a contrast to the Variable Point Layout.	I had to change the preferences to keep the Nine Patch block just 6" and I hope that they have stayed that way!

Tropical prints with black. Tallahassee, FL	Tropical prints with nine patch blocks mostly set on point. Tallahassee, FL	When setting the 9 patch squares, I was reminded of the granny squares my mother used to crochet. The alternate blocks were drawn using patchdraw blocks. Sioux Falls, SD	This block was designed while I was quilting in my sleep. It reminded me of the toy I used to play with as a child. I drew it in patchdraw blocks. Sioux Falls, SD

I am currently sewing the "weird" 9-Patch blocks. I took the suggestion from Barb to expand my 9 blocks into a bigger quilt. And this is the result! Cheers from France	I guess for this one, you need to have EQ5 in order to see where the blocks are... Cheers from France	Hello. I made my quilt with different 9 patch blocks. All 9 patch are 6X6" I drew all by myself. I have fun when I do it. I love to draw with EQ5.	Hello! Same quilt different colors. This is not my color, but its fun to try out.
