9-patch up in the air

Imagine tossing 86 9-patch blocks up in the air and letting then fall (not so randomly). Let me introduce my new jelly roll friendly pattern – 9patch up in the air.

A very easy, tilted 9-patch pattern using your favourite prints from 2 1/2″ strips and yardage for the background.

The finished quilt measures 72″ x 80″. Perfect for a single bed or lap quilt. My lovely neighbour and quilting buddy Tania, made a smaller version using 53 blocks and the latest Moda Grunge colours.

So many collections and backgrounds to choose from. A monochromatic quilt would be fun or grouping the same print into circles.

The pattern can be found here (PDF)

To make cutting and squaring each block I have designed a 2 piece template set. This set could be used for any 8″ finished tilted block.
