As @MistressJennie said in her earlier post, “We’re all learning new stuff all the time,” which is so true! Just recently @marionberries posted a different disappearing 9-patch pattern, which made me realize, ‘wait a second, the blocks in the original 9 patch (before it’s cut up) don’t all have to be the same size!’
I feel like that knowledge opened up a whole new set of possibilities. In my quilts, my sashing was exactly half the size of my squares, since the original 9-patch was made up of all 5" squares. But when looking at the Peanut Butter Quilt pattern, I noticed that the sashing didn’t seem to be just half of the larger squares, it looks to be a bit smaller.
So, if that pattern were done as a disappearing 9-patch, it would look more like this:
Thank you, marionberries for helping me see the possibility of creating 9-patches with different sized patches!
