nine patch block designs

9P in Play 51, 52 from Virtual Quilter

Interesting design, pretty fabric choices.

I love the second design … totally different to anything I have ever seen anywhere.

This is as far as I have got with mixing more than two colours in basic 9P blocks … and the results can be stunning if you like the colours!

The half blocks around the edge of the second design are interesting!

9P Night Vision 23, 24 from Virtual Quilter

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.

Very interesting border … not too sure I would ever use it on any real quilt … but interesting to play with in the virtual world!

Very busy, but also interesting.

9P Pretties from EQ5 15, 16 from Virtual Quilter

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 ...

Red and White Patches 7, 8 from Virtual Quilter

Very bright!

Not my favourite colours, and it is not applique, but I love both designs!

All the blocks are basic 9 Patch designs.

9P Night Vision 21, 22 from Virtual Quilter

These designs all have Nine Patch blocks with identical corner squares, a vision I had one sleepless midnight hour. There are lots of possible corner blocks which create s filler design right across the quilt top. They become the background design when the other five squares are added to the mix.

I like the colouring in the first design best, but like the second design overall design best.

Interesting, and in our local sporting team colours.

The blocks are all 9P blocks and simpler to put together than they look.

I think my favourite of these two designs is the second one, but don’t quote me on that!

The 9 Patch blocks are not as complicated as they look … especially the outer with 8 of the 9 squares just the background fabric.

I love the second design, and it has a lot of plain squares scattered all over the design.

Red and White Quilts 49, 50 from Virtual Quilter

I like it … lots of room for quilting!

Big question … red or white thread? Or a mixture?

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

9P Night Vision 19, 20 from Virtual Quilter

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.

Love everything about the design above! Anything but an average quilt design.

Also love the second design, but the first is the best of the two by a short margin.

Wishing all of you who have a look at my virtual designs from time to time, here or via email, a wonderful new year, with lots of time to spend being creative.

Purple Haze 15, 16 from Virtual Quilter

Same block collection as yesterday’s designs, but different colourway.

Purple and green are two of my favourite colours, and I find it interesting to see similar designs in different colours.

This is the last post for 2023 … but not long to wait for 2024 to get underway … happy new year!
