I made the Double Disappearing Nine-Patch, and here's my finished quilt.
You start out with a simple nine-patch block using 5-inch squares, that you cut into eight pieces -- the traditional horizontal and vertical cuts, and then you cut each quadrant on the diagonal.
You sew the opposite inner triangles (with pink corners) together and the outer triangles together.
This results in four 6.5-inch blocks -- two blocks that have reverse colours on the top.
And two blocks with a little bit of colour in the corners.
The layout is alternating blocks. The white centre is a result of operator error (block trimming error), and I didn't have any fabric to make more blocks.
I attempted a flower quilting motif. Some flowers are a little more organic than others. 😊
I can't wait to try some of the other patterns in the book.

I'm up late, but awake enough to enjoy your post and brightly colored quilt. Thanks for the eye candy.
ReplyDeleteI just love this quilt!! Not "operational error"...it was a "design choice" to make your quilt uniquely yours!!
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern and your colors.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! I'm very intrigued by the designs in this book.
ReplyDeleteI think the operator error gives this quilt it's own unique look. Personally I like the white center.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who puts a quilt together and finds I didn't have quite enough fabric!! We make it work!!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful!
I like how the flowers quilted into your quilt softened it up, very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try some of these patterns.
ReplyDeleteYour design change could have been intentional. It looks like it belongs.

I love the quilt and the simplicity of taking a nine patch & creating a new quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love the colours and the quilting. Thank you for sharing
ReplyDeletethe "operator error" makes the quilt uniquely yours.
ReplyDeleteThis book looks very intriguing! I like your quilt they way it is!
ReplyDeleteLove the hiccup in your stitch along. Nice looking quilt and your quilting is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt and I love your color choices.
ReplyDeleteLove this quilt pattern and all the inspiration. Thank you.

Your operator error looks like the center of a maze! Sometimes mistakes make the design.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors you used. Great quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you quilt turned out. What a creative book this has turned out to be. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteThis book just seems like soo much fun!!
ReplyDeleteGreat colour combo. I’m happy that you made the error it gives the quilt a great look, love it.
ReplyDeleteLove the layout and how it differs from others with this design. The bright colors make it a stand out quilt.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is so graphic and simply stunning! Great job!
ReplyDeleteHard to believe that it's a disappearing nine-patch. Thanks for the explanation.
An awesome pattern, a striking result with just a few cuts!
ReplyDeleteThis is a super fun quilt! I’m really curious about the other fun things in that book.
ReplyDeleteI love your colors and how the pattern turned out!
ReplyDeleteNice interpretation of a 9 patch ! And your white center gives added interest!
ReplyDeleteI agree - adding in that plain white square in the center give visual interest to the quilt that it would lack if it were all the same repeating set of blocks. Definitely a good outcome.
ReplyDeleteI love the 'operator error' element of the quilt! It adds a lot of interest to the design :)
ReplyDeleteThat's Beautiful! And with the tutorial, easy!
ReplyDeleteThat is one lovely quilt! Who would know it started from a simple Nine Patch - the first block I ever learned.
ReplyDeleteI have never tried any disappearing nine patch blocks! I love how you can take a simple block and whack it to pieces to create something so different! You did a fantastic job! It looks so fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun it is to see how the block “disappears “ and the new shape happens! I love it!
ReplyDeleteOh how I'd love to win this book! It is the coolest! Love how your quilt turned out, wonderful colours and yay you on the new quilting motif! It never ceases to amaze me the endless possibilities one can make with simple shapes!!
ReplyDeleteInteresting procedure. Wonderful colors. Great explanation. Makes me want the book and to make blocks. Thanks for shsring!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt has a stair step look to it. What an interesting way to put a block together.
