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.
Your blocks are so cute!

ReplyDeleteLove 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.
