It is Classic Quilt Block Thursday on our channel, and this week we are sitting down with one of the most beloved blocks in the whole quilting world, the humble and brilliant Nine Patch. In this little episode we walk through the very basics of piecing a Nine Patch, then have so much fun with all the creative variations you can spin off from those nine simple squares.
Here is why this one is worth watching:
- A gentle return to the fundamentals. We take the Nine Patch right back to its starting point, perfect if you are newer to quilting or simply love a calm refresher of the building blocks that have inspired so many quilters before us.
- Creative variations to play with. Once the basic Nine Patch is on the cutting mat, we explore the cheerful spin-offs you can build from it, including disappearing Nine Patches, double Nine Patches and more.
- So much sampler and scrap potential. The Nine Patch is one of those blocks that happily welcomes leftover squares, scraps, charm packs and tiny treasured prints, which makes it endlessly fun to keep coming back to.
If you enjoy our weekly Classic Quilt Block Thursday series and the rest of the cosy chats we share from the shop, do hop over and subscribe to our YouTube channel, it is the best way to catch every new block as soon as it lands.
