Double D9P

A  Double Disappearing Nine Patch Quilt makes for another great baby quilt gift!

Also known as a Double D9P, as sometimes the title can be a bit of a mouthful.

 The blocks for this were leftover 9-patches from the Row by Row quilt from last summer, mainly because they were too small for that quilt.  And together, they made too small of a quilt.  To solve that problem, I made double disappearing 9-patch blocks.  No idea how to do that? Well, here's a tutorial!

 Start with a 9-patch block, with darker values in the middle and corners.

Cut the block through the center, horizontally,

and vertically, to end with this.

Spread the blocks pieces apart, and add 5 same size squares in between, with the center contrasting with the others.

Sew those together to make a new 9-patch block, and cut again through the center, horizontally and vertically.

The result is this.

Rotate two opposite corners.

Sew them together, and the result is a complicated looking block that's super easy to make!

Sew them all together, and it becomes a Double Disappearing 9-Patch Quilt!

When there's a need for a quick quilt that looks super complicated, turn to a DD9P!

 Happy Quilting!

    Starting squares were somewhere around 2 5/8", and the second set of squares were 3 1/2". Fortunately, this works with any size--the second set of squares just has to be the same size as the squares from the cut block in step one.
