There are so many ways of making a nine patch block. I can hardly wait to see what is next. Thank you for this video.

I am always amazed how different the same quilt pattern look, just be changing colors and/or prints. I’m really liking the solid color combinations. The printed one is just as pretty, just a very different feel. (KH)

I love watching your videos. You always give me new ideas. Just retired and are having such quilting fun. Thanks Beth!

[teresathomas]

Can't wait for this to be done, it would be very nice with each block a different color...maybe some day I will try that.
Thanks for sharing your talents, yet again.

Looking at the range of blocks, now that quite a few have been made, it's hard to pick a favourite.
Beth I have a question. With the middle block, does it always work to have a one inch difference between the uncut sizes like this one? 3 and a half outer pieces and starting at 4 and a half for the middle?
Regardless of size? Or is there a ratio involved?
Yes I understand about adding 3 quarters of an inch for a HST, but how is this different?
Anyway I looked and thought this block would look great even in super scrappy or all matching on point.
As always love the videos and happy sewing everyone.
🇦🇺💜🇺🇲💚🖐😊👍

How do you avoid your ruler from shifting when you trim your blocks down to 3 1/2 inches? Mine always wobbles from all the seams.
