February 2006 Challenge: 6 inch Nine-Patch Blocks! (Page 4)

I drew a six inch nine patch with top and handles. Placed the design in a 3x3 on point layout with six inch sashing nine patch cornerstone. Although it is a very basic design I enjoy drawing the blocks and I love playing with all the fabrics.

I edited the Urn Block keeping the six-inch nine patch in tact. I then edited the block again taking off all the half square triangles and replacing them with logs or steps.

This is a quilt that I have actually made. I had a large collection of fabric swatches and it seemed such a shame not to use them. In the actual quilt there are more blocks as each swatch was 1 1/2 inches in size and the 9 patch block finish at 3 inches. 2,646 swatches were used and the remaining ones which were whites and off whites I pieced together to use for the label. For this challenge I increased the size of the block and removed a few rows from the width and length.

I started off with the Dunce Cap block, changing the center into a 9 patch block. and then resizing the block to get a 6" nine patch block.

I used a star from the embroidery library and with coloring, made the 9-patch planets float.

Ft Wayne, Indiana

I re-sized the nine patch and added some strips. Used rotation until this design came up. It gave me the illusion of a stairway. It would be very easy to construct. Just adding strips to your nine patch collection.

Quick&Easy Charity quilt that I have made a number of times. I thought the setting was easy to piece quickly but can add lots of color.

Another quick nine patch I designed using
2 ninepatch variations. Great for quick children's quilts.

Nine patch and 8 point star. I like the idea of companion blocks where one block completes its neighbour as in the 4 centre flowers.

Nine Patch blocks combined with the snowball block - one of many colouring variations.

Each attic window has the opportunity to be a different colored nine patch and then add your favorite tea mug or coffee cup.

This is my first submission. I got EQ5 for Christmas and have been playing around. I wish I could make quilts as fast as I can design them:)

This is SOOO not my style, but I thought the gradient colors of the 9 Patch Plus block would be fun in here.

Missoula, MT

As mentioned on my other quilt, this is my first submission. Here, I thought I would play with the border and see how it could set off the inside blocks and give it more drama.

This block comes from the EQ Library of Nine patch stars.

This block comes from the EQ library of Nine Patch. As this block is named summer winds I coloured it to represent the winds that blow the mango flowers off the trees here in the summer.

I used the shoefly block in the center. I used the Contrary Wife elsewhere and rotated to create this design.

If making this quilt I would use various fabrics but have done it with plain colours for this exercise.

I pretended that I was in two nine patch exchange groups that I really might have joined. For this first quilt it was a nine patch block exchange made of "brights" fabrics, since I make a lot of children's quilts. Then I used the black, blue and yellow to unify the blocks. I can see myself actually making this quilt. I'd put a really fun multi-colored "children's" fabric on the back. Dd named this Monkey Bars.

In this quilt, I pretended that I was in another 9 patch block exchange, this time using steely blues and whites. I can see myself actually participating in such an exchange. I wanted to make something that looked like snowflakes, but alas, it always looked like ripples of water no matter what I did. So I gave in and called this quilt Ripples.
