Notice there is no rhyme or reason to the placement of the colored squares.
After they were sewn together, they looked like this.
I cut them in half, both directions, added a color square in the middle and more white squares and sewed them together to get new and bigger nine patch blocks.
The only attention I gave to fabric placement was to be sure that the center square was not the same as any of the surrounding small squares. In retrospect, I guess it was a good thing that I also did not have any of the center squares the same color/fabric as the larger corner squares. I didn't do it, and it wouldn't be the end of the world if I did.
I cut these blocks in half, both directions and them sewed them into this little beauty!
It measures about 38" x 48" and I love it! I'm thinking about the quilting possibilities here and think that this may be my "go to" quilt for baby or quickly needed quilts.
A little while back, my brother sent sent me some information about a double disappearing nine patch and I think I've put this together the same way, but for the life of me I can't find what Jerry sent. So, if you know who is responsible for this block, please let me know so I can give proper credit. :-)
Update: Thanks Jerry:
