In my opinion, this is BY FAR the best disappearing 9-patch video on RU-vid!!! I like that all of your 5" squares are different in pattern and color. I also like that you turned the sewn & cut pieces in different directions for a very scrappy block look. I really like all the cheery colors of your fabrics, although the prints were made for children, they are bright and beautiful. It was very nice to see what sashing would look like around the blocks also. That was an unexpected bonus! I've been wanting to know what a scrappy disappearing 9-patch block would look like without having to cut up a lot of fabric to find out, but your video has really done a wonderful job showing so many unconventional combinations! Thank you so very, very much!!!
What a great idea for a childrens quilt, I have 4 grandchildren and will be making these for them, Can't wait to begin! Your videos are very clear and so instructive..Cheers
Watching the Quilt Videos on RU-vid are so much better than reading a pattern or book. It's more personal and seems to make more sense to me. I really like the Gourmet Quilter.
I have hundreds of five inch squares given to me. I had no idea what I was going to do with them all, now I am excited to use this method for my fabric . Love this !
Wow. I was so bummed when you started to cut the first 9 patch, I was like, "no! don't cut it!" But then you turned them around and a HUGE LIGHTBULB came on. A-MAZ-ING. Thank you! How fun!
Watch this video if you are a new quilter. This information doesn't get old. Instead, it is an excellent introduction into ways simple squares can be modified into many lovely patterns for quilts!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! As a beginner, I tend to get awfully messed up while creating my 9-patches, because sticking to this scant 1/4 inch seam already eats up plenty of my focus. It’s just a brilliant idea to leave those squares attached to each other, after chainpiecing the first row. That’s ging to help me a lot not getting confused all the time. I also love the multiple possibilities these blocks offer, in finding your very own design. Very helpful lesson. Regards from Germany
Hi I'm going to try and change the color scheme for a great granddaughter coming in 6 months or so, thank you so much for your friendly instructions for us. Even non sewers can listen, shop and then go home and create, watching your videos to assemble the finished project. You have lots to pick from. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, and encouraging us all the while. Giving us lots of choices to pick from, colors, styles fabrics, etc. are you back from your boat trip with your husband? Hope you enjoyed it very much.
I work with children 0 - 5 and this quilt would be a perfect match for our day! I'll be using this idea to make us some I-Spy fabric books. Thanks for a wonderful idea!
I love your Quilting Videos here on RU-vid. You do a fantastic job of explaining and showing so many options. I love the colors on this and all your quilts.
I love the Gourmet Quilter!! I just found her on RU-vid and her instructions are right on and very easy to follow. Her blocks are simple, yet can be made stylish. I think she is one teacher I can really learn from! Thank you for your easy teaching manner.
Your videos are content rich and unique for the area I am located. I really appreciate that you take the time to make them so long too because I watch them when I quilt.
I really enjoy your Quilt Videos, you are very clear and concise and the instructions are made for any sewing level. I look forward to watching all your work as you are much better than a book or pattern! Thanks for giving it your all.
I've made so many nine patches that I thought I knew all about it, but you showed me something very useful in the way you ironed them. Proves there is always something "new to me" to learn.
I always come back to your videos for putting together quilts and such. I watch tons of videos for quilting and sewing .....searching for a way to do something and then all of a sudden I remember you and find exactly what I am looking for! I didn't realize how long ago this one and a few others are! You are so good at explaining and showing easy ways of doing things!
Terrific tutorial! I've also heard this technique called "The Disappearing 9-patch" or "The Quartered 9-Patch". I love the versatility and possibilities. You are so watchable Susan, an excellent instructor!!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful quilting ideas. It's so much fun to see how many combinations you can come up with. You have inspired me to be creative!
I had a pkg of charm squares that I didn’t really like, they were gifted to me, I also had a pkg of white on white charms, so I made these disappearing nine patches. I liked how they came out and found the sashing idea a big help on how to build it up. Thank you I like your videos very much
Thank you, a lovely idea for a child's quilt. I have been asked to make a quilt for my niece and never having done it before, I am a little nervous. Your site is very helpfiul - loads of ideas. All I need now is the 'push' to start one!
I have just discovered the GourmetQuilter online and am quite pleased with what I am viewing. I know your videos will immensely make my quilting easier and fun. Great tips. I hope you are still sewing and doing well.
Thanks Susan for some great ideas. I have to make a baby quilt ( possibly for her to lay on the floor on) and this idea is great. Your presentation is great! Sue
I dont want to get to mushy about this,BUT. I recently had a big loss in my life,and was looking for a hobby to get immersed in .My mom was a master sewer (dress maker) and I watched her but never really got involved. I think with your instruction and easy going explanations...I am going to give this a whirl! thank you so very much!
How fun! I love it and I have a one year old great nephew who is smart as a whip. I am doing an "I SPY" for him. Thank you ever so much! Auntie's Angels
That's so lovely. I'm looking for ideas to make a quilt for my great grandson. He loves the countryside so I'm collecting fabrics with farm animals. I think this would be a great pattern to use. Thankyou I love your videos!!
I really loved this idea I haven’t quilted in years but I definitely want to get back into it and I think doing this one will be the best I can’t wait to get started .. thank you for sharing this idea with us ♥️
You make it seem so easy! I so hope I can do this. I have 6 grands currently 8 and under. They would love playing with a quilt like this! Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays.
Fabulous thank you so much I have some fabric to make my new Grandson a quilt for Winter and your has so far been the best idea. I will now be able to patchwork some square of his prints with some plains etc and make him something he will learn to love :)
I plan to make a small lap quilt, using this block of 9 pieces, with a border. It will be my first attempt. Thank you for your clear instructions. I've ordered a walking foot and a quarter inch foot, soon I will start. Thank you very much.
I love this idea. I have some fun charm packs & have been searching for a fun pattern for quilts for my 2-year-old granddaughters and this is perfect! Thanks!
Brilliant! You said in this video...'we all know how to sew a 9 patch' but actually I don't or at least didn't know the most economical, time savy way...Now I do..Brilliant Thank you!
Very Nice ! A great idea for a Linus quilt that I am making. I was having trouble with my ideas, but now you have "answered" my question as to what to do. Thank You.
You are one of the best teachers I've seen on RU-vid and appreciate the patience you have shown. I am a neophyte at quilting and have a question...how do you sew those patches on the big piece of material?
Hi. I was randomly picking videos on eye spy quilts to watch, and yours was the first one I pcked. The minute I heard you I recognized the accent - so rare to randomly find other NZers on RU-vid - lol. Love your work. Cheers.
Once Again you have truly inspired me. Love the great idea to check the sashing strips this way before cutting up. Great tip. One I will remember. Most of us have scrap fabrics we could use to make something like this quilt Thanks Again.....
Love this!! You have some great ideas using lots of great fabrics! I am gathering the courage to do my very 1st Patchwork quilt. I love playing with fabrics also & I guess that is a great reason to start quilting! LOL Thanks for all the wonderful ideas. I am a new sub as I just found your channel & now look forward to catching up on all your videos! My grandmother quilted my whole life (I am 49) so I thought I would keep the tradition with my own grandsons.
I love your videos!!! Very easy to follow. Do wish you would say how much material you would need to make these rag blankets. Can't wait to get started!!! Thanks!!!
