I haven’t quite finished my first coffee of the day, and it took me a couple of minutes to work out what was wrong with the design above. Can you see it?
It took a while for me to realize when I started this project file that the corners of each Nine Patch block looked better if they were a paler shade of green.
Answer to the question above … the corner blocks contain a mis-coloured piece, even when they are not on the side.

Today’s designs come from a project file started in Electric Quilt 5 …. I am now using EQ8.
Most of the blocks came from the EQ library, but there are a few of the original blocks I was adding back then. Those blocks had been scribbled onto paper, and transferred to graph paper, but still with pencils. Now I draw new ideas in EQ8, though I still scribble some onto paper if I have an idea when the computer is not close by.
Most of the quilt designs in the project have a mixture of traditional blocks and my own ...

Design number 50 in the project file, but it is one short of 50 blocks.

In the design above the darker section of the blocks could stand by itself with blank corners, but one night I woke up with the idea that the blank corners of the block could become an additional design element. Usually when I have ideas in the middle of the night they escape before morning, but this one was still in my head when daylight came so i turned on the computer and started drawing 9P blocks with empty corners, and then some ideas for the corners which would form a secondary design.
Then I had to mix up the centre ...

Not my favourite colours, but I love the design with all nine patch blocks.
Love the second one more though.

Interesting and I like it.
The blocks look rather complicated, but if broken down into nine small squares, some of them whole squares, they are not quite as complicated as they look.
The second design is also interesting, but not as interesting as the first.
