More Double 9-Patch Inspiration

Posted by Sophie on January 11, 2015 in block lotto community | 2 comments

I’ve been seeing double 9-patches around blogland. Besides Dena’s sweet redwork quilt, another quilter from our group, Kathy, also recently shared a double 9-patch project (which, because I follow her blog, I know she made before the block was announced). See the Double 9-Patch blocks in the corners of her table topper? Clicking the photos in this post will take you to the blog post where I found them, if you want to read more.

I found this quilt on the Ivory Spring blog, published in The Quilter some years ago and more recently in UK’s Popular Patchwork. I like the use of pinwheel blocks as cornerstones.

You could even do something a little wild … and use double 9-patches as centers for Double Wedding Ring blocks, similar to what’s happening here on Victoria Findlay Wolfe’s design wall.

I was so excited when I saw the sneak peek for the January block! It was also what I was working on when I opened the e-mail. I love this block! Little 1″ finished squares are so much fun to look at in a quilt.
