   Another original by me!    Hope you like this one! Rhonda

 This quilt block uses my 4 patch squares block and HSTs.  I will be updating my directions for the 4 patch squares block soon!

     Another of my original quilt blocks!

        This month I decided to do something different. I broke the quilt block into 4  9 patch sections.

       So this is a 9 patch using my star point blocks and one plain block for the center.

         

Now once have made one of the blocks you will need to make 3 more for a total of 4  9 patch blocks. 

Here you see 4  9 patch blocks

Once you have the 4 blocks made - you then 

sew them into one quilt block. 

My quilt blocks are made using 6 rows of 6 blocks per row. I call this a 6 x 6 grid. So I realized I could break it down into  a 3 x 3 grid and use 4 blocks. that way it is easier to see how it fits together and is less intimidating.   

The whole point of my designs is to make the difficult look easy to do. You can make intricate quilt blocks with easy steps! Once you know the tricks to making my designs they aren't as hard to do as you might think!!
