Beyond the 9 Patch - Michael Miller Fabrics' Making it Fun #83 

You’re the cleverest, funniest man quilter on the internet! I have a smile on my face watching you. !

Another fabulous video Rob. Thank you. There are so many hours of creativity especially with the design wall, that make these videos even more fun. You put so much work into every video. And we all greatly appreciate it.

You’re a terrific teacher. Great speaker! Creative, Funny. Glad I refound you! My mom and grandma quilted with little pieces, wish they were here to see the new methods and fancy rulers and gadgets.

Wow!! My head just exploded! Thanks, you've taken the "boring" old 9 patch and made it really modern.

This is such a fantastic tutorial! It gives so much information on a foundation that you can easily build on with the simplest changes in colors and turning. Love love love! And the Quintessentials line is amazing. Thanks for another great video chocked full of great quilting advice!

You make me happy just listening to you, plus I learn new things. Thank you

The first design reminds me of the old space invaders game. I love the 9 patch and all the variations!! Thanks for another great turtorial!!

Great video! AND- I’m so glad you are now filming without your hat! Yes! Much nicer 👏

U r a riot and an inspiration!

Thanks Rob for all your enthusiasm. You get me pumped up. My great-niece is having a baby to be named Paisley Nichole. So as a quilter and you know what springs to mind. Yup, paisley fabric. Just after I learned about the baby's name, a local quilt shop had sent their newsletter highlighting, you guessed it, paisley print colors. Now I have the fabrics and the pattern to use. Just like the checkerboard illusion I made for my grandson, this will be special for my great-grand niece.

Glad I found you again, Rob, I missed you!

You are so fun to watch, very inspiring!

I love how versatile a nine patch block can be.

Love love love this. I definitely want to try this with that beautiful fabric line.

Your tutorials are so full of color control! Love what you've done with the ombres. Tks so much.

Rob, you are absolutely contageous. What great content.

I like your explanations of why to do or not do something.

LOVE IT!! Thanks Rob, love your energy.

Thank you. You are a very good teacher. God bless you.

That was fun! Good job Rob

Wow! Who knew, all this from a nine patch! Thanks Rob, Love Your videos! I'm interested in the Churn Dash block.

Love Michael Miller Fairy Frost. (Not the glitter type.) Frost is my favorite. I have a few colors. I used them in a fairy panel for a baby girl. What a hit my quilt made. Thank you Michael Miller. I also bought his shaded fabric in different colors for another gift quilt. Love love love Michael Miller fabrics.

Love your videos! Great tips and easy to follow. Love your upbeat style!

That Hombre fabric is amazing!

WOW! Another fun, interesting and educational video. Thanks for sharing you knowledge with us. Wishing blessings to all yall.

This is beautiful! Love the ombre!

I was expecting a fairly straightforward video. Boy was I wrong! This is mind blowing from the design viewpoint. This has inspired me to take basic traditional blocks and give them the Rob makeover. I love the MAGIC design wall. Thanks Rob.

I love watching your videos. You make it fun.

That red ombre fabric is gorgeous.

Great stuff, Rob!!

thank you rob

Love the fabric and the exploding 9 patch

You mentioned being super wound up: not as I've seen in the past. This seems like you being calm. Thanks, it helped me to follow you without getting distracted. And the exploration of the nine patches was really interesting and helped me see that one can do interesting quilting with the basics.

Now I know what to do with some ombre fabric I have been sitting on for a couple of years! Thank you for the institution.

Thank you so much. You are so entertaining.

So much fun and cute! Thank you for sharing this video!

Hey Rob, thanks for the video. I was given a quilt top that my mom had started. It wasn’t cut very even or sewn where the seams matched. I know she was just starting, as I am a beginner also. I loved the colors and prints she chose, so I very carefully took it all apart, ironed each block and recut the pieces. Now I am doing a disappearing 9 patch pattern and it’s looking so cool. Not sure I can make a lap quilt out of it, but I am going to try. She would love it. A great memory of my mom.

Great effect, these combinations of bright - dark.

Thank you for this amazing trick to 9 blocks.

Love ur energy...and creativity!

The Ombre fabric - I recently went to a fibre arts show and saw a mind-blowing quilt using that fabric. The movement it conveys is absolutely amazing!

Pin wheel. I have seen some crazy stuff with a pin wheel . Thanks for spending time on the design wall

Loved watching this

Over from the Quilting Marine to see what Rob Appell is about. Those are fun 9 patch exercises for beginners but also for experienced to play and stretch our Quilting. Tfs 👍😊🎃

Great new show!!!

Really enjoyed your teaching and above all I learnt sooo much thanks

Great tutorial! Rob!

What a fun, fun tute. Great thanks.

A math lesson - hahaha! Thanks for teaching me a great shortcut for dividing fractions! Love this method of creating accurate blocks.

Great video. As an experienced quilter I enjoy revisiting these old standards. I can't wait until you come to Unraveled and I get to meet you.

Brilliant will defo try this

Love your work ❤

Great focus and detailed tutorial.

Can’t wait to go play with this thank you

Thank you for your inspiration!

Hola buenas, soy de España. Me ha gustado mucho esta clase de hoy, como de una cosa tan sencilla puede sacarle tantas partido, los colores muy actuales. Una clase magistral. GRACIAS un saludo cordial 👋👌👏👏👏

Awesome 🎉…❤ and chi miigwech my quilty friend!

Yes awesome

Hi Rob‼️ Never heard of exploding 9 patch😱

Wow, Rob, I never knew how non-traditional a nine patch could end up looking! The log cabin videos were awesome too, and I’d love to see you make more. Also, do you have a video on how to turn a block on point?

Wow that’s gonna save me a lot of time thank you

Love it

I have fallen in love with the 9 patch thanks to you Rob!!! :) My flying geese is going on the backburner. Rob, loved that last design, the very funky one, is there a pattern for it?💚😁

This is fantastic! Thank you. What about the broken dishes? Just thinking with the great fabrics you have, wow for sure it will become amazing.

You're unique rob

Pinwheel block gives some great effects when it's cut up.

Wow! 👍🏻👍🏻

Wonderful videos. Helpful hints. Rob is passionate. A little hard sell on the company though. I enjoy The Quilting Marine too.

Good morning from Camino ca

Loved the program. Would like to see you do something creative with the double wedding ring block,

Thank you I was watching Missouri Star and was wondering if you use a different color like you and you did it.

WOW! It’s amazing all the different combos you can make with just a plain ole 9 patch!

Feelin blessed too...got 2 finish Coco Star 1st...❤ that ombre n yur designs...got QCT yet?

What about the Square in a square block?? as one to try. Love your shows.

👍

Great video, Rob! I’m sure that you have probably answered this question before so I apologized if this is the case-what sewing machine do you use?

What new things can you come up with for the churn dash block?

Those "exploding 9-patch" blocks can also be called "disappearing 9-patch" (a' la Jenny Doan, Missouri Star Quilt Co.)

I've tried makind the Pineapple block with no success; turns out super wonky and can't square it down...may be a good candidate for a block to use in a different way...would be interesting to see what we could do with the traditional blocks as well, by cutting them apart and resewing back together (is. Bear Claw, Peter/Paul block, chinese lantern, railfence, bargello, trip around the world pattern, etc.).

Loved the first one at the end on the magic design wall. Wish you had a break down of how that went together. It is awesome

Lemoyne star or the Hunters star

What is your design wall made of ?

Denatured is your design wall made of?

What size ruler are you using ❤

next block suggestion: half square triangle or hst

Did you have another one Called Man Sewing or something like that??

Disappearing pinwheels

What kind of iron do you have?

Which Instagram app are you referring to. There are so many. Thanks

Terrrific instruction. Love the energy and detail. Do you ever have your seams not line up? Seems like no pinning or clipping is asking for lots of luck...?

Magic hourglass?
