This month I've been working on the reduction of my Nine Patch inventory in the Parts Department.
I used three inch nine patches for the centers of Puss In The Corner blocks that finish at 5 inches. I think Puss In The Corner is also called Uneven Nine Patch so I guess I turned even Nine Patches into Uneven Nine Patches.
For years I used to swap these little three inch Nine Patches and although I have made numerous quilts with them I still am over inventory!
To make these blocks I picked out the ones with the dark corners and center and white or cream for the other four pieces. I tried to match my scraps with the Nine Patches to make the outside border.
Now I have 120 blocks which was my goal.
I think I'm going to assemble them with sashing so that the sashing will form little Nine Patches with light corners as the cornerstones. So I guess my next task is to cut sashing pieces and sets of four 1.5 inch colored squares.

Love love love these!!! and what a great way to frame those 9 patches!!!
Wow. Your organisation always amazes me.
Love your scrappy blocks and can't wait to see the setting sewn together. I made a top from these blocks last year, they're so quick to stitch I just love them. I've got a pile of scrappy ones started too.
The blocks look great!
Nine Patch happiness! Classic.
I think your Nine Patch and Snowball blocks in your previous post are beautiful too!
