Disappearing Nine Patch - Math help
Pati,
You are tempting me with more variations? You enabler you! I might have to see what kinds of crazy things I can come up with on this one. And look for that book. I don't think I've seen an uneven 9- patch, but my ability to remember the names of more than two or three block patterns is pretty limited too.... Thanks!

VBG *Several can be found in the book "Slice 'em and Dice 'em" by Nancy Brennen Daniels (?????) For the one you are thinking of, you can use an Uneven 9-Patch to start, it changes the pattern just a bit. I would suggest rounding up your patch measurement to 4 3/4 inch (or even 5"), then trimming the finished blocks to size. G But in my "world" it is often easier to "make it big and whack it off". VBG D9P can be *a very fun and even addictive pattern to work with. *I taught a class on it to my guild group and one lady used squares from a "charm swap" we did one year. No pattern, just sewed the squares into 9-patches and cut and rearranged them. Worked out well. *Others did very planned, limited number of fabrics projects and they all look good. Several have made more than one. There are some that I would like to make..... variations on this particular cut and other ways to cut the original 9-patches. One of these days................. Have fun, Pati, in Phx. |

Danielle, and Uneven 9-patch is where the 9 units are not all square.
G Might have a large center square, small corner squares and rectangles as the other 4 pieces. Or a small center square, larger corner squares and rectangles for the other 4. Still "9 parts" but not even in size. G Remember, "9-Patch" is as much a "category" designator as anything. There are lots of variations within the category. There are numerous "9-Patch Stars", and so on. Adding "uneven-ness" just adds more possible patterns and variations.

I've decided that Disappearing Nine Patch is a brain thing. No opinion as
to whether it's a 'right brain, left brain' or 'no brain'. I played with it for a few blocks and thought it was big fun. My neighbor tried it and became frazzled/ furious pretty quickly. And thank you Jeanne. I wondered how it would go with just 3 colors and you simply handed to me. Great.
