As I mentioned in
Sunday Stash a few weeks ago, I've been working on a new disappearing nine patch project that I've dubbed "Foxy" after the main inspiration fabric.
I followed the tutorial over at
Cluck Cluck Sew for my D9P, but here's some photos to give you an idea of how it works. I went with 5" squares, but I suppose you could pick whatever size worked best for you.

1) Create nine-patch blocks |

2) In this case, you make 11 blocks |

3) The scary part - you cut your big blocks into quarters. This leaves you with 44 smaller blocks. |

4) Reassemble your small blocks, 6 across by 7 down for your quilt! |
I tried not to mess with the layout too much, but I wanted the colors/whites at least somewhat evenly distributed. Even with all my efforts, I have still found places I should have shuffled some more. Oh well, hopefully the recipients won't notice.
You notice I said "recipients" in the plural? That's the best part about Foxy - I bought enough fabric to make two quilts - maybe Foxy and Foxier? :)

One quilt on the wall, and one still in squares! |
