- This is a basic 9 patch block. The directions make 4, 5" blocks
- Cut:
- 1, 2" x 8" rectangle for each patch in the block
- In this example you need
- 4 white rectangles,
- 3 medium purple rectangles,
- 2 dark purple rectangles
- Corners:
- Gather
- 9, 2" x 8" rectangles
- Sew strip sets:
- dark purple, white, medium purple
- white, medium purple, white
- dark purple, white, medium purple
- Iron seam allowances
- towards the center when the center strip is medium purple
- away from the center when medium purple is on the end.
- Cut each strip set into 4, 2" x width of set segments
- Sew one segment from each set together along the long edge to make one 5" square. It should look like the picture at the beginning of this section.
- Iron seam allowances open
