Log Cabin Quilt: 6

29 11 2008

As promised, here are some photos of the Disappearing Nine Patch I’m doing for the back of the log cabin quilt. Basic instructions are in the photo captions.

9-patch of 6.5 inch squares

Cut the 9-patch across the middle both ways

Turn two diagonally opposite patches 180 degrees

Sew back together again

Join the big blocks together

Yes, my mother also wonders why I would take perfectly good pieces of fabric, cut them up, join them together, then cut them and join them again! 😉

I was thinking the same thing but that does look really cool! And trying to do that without joining and cutting would probably tax my brain. 😉

Don’t ever tell your Mum that you made a perfectly good block and cut it up and joined it back together again! Even to me it SOUNDS absolutely crazy, and I love cutting up fabric etc!
