A few(!) years ago, I joined an online 9-patch swap. As a result, I have this pile of 60 9-patches. I've been thinking about how to go about using them for awhile now and have narrowed it down to two options.
Option 1:
My first thought was to do something pretty straightforward and simple. Classic! I'm definitely thinking navy/dark blue sashing and borders. It would be about 60" square. I might even have enough in my stash to make this one happen.
Option 2:
This, however, is the option I'm leaning toward: an on-point square of sashed 9-patches with setting triangles. It is more interesting to me visually, and would give me some fun quilting space, and be a little bigger, finishing about 80" square. The downside is that I would definitely have to buy some fabric.
Either way, I need a few more 9-patches to make it work, so I dug through my little 2.5" scrap box.
If nothing else, I think I'll be putting together a few of those this week as I ponder the options.
Option 2 would be really cool! I don't think I have seen 9patches set like that before.
