Soul Blossom D9P Progress

There is definitely something mad about sewing 9 patches together to have this



 only to then chop it again like this


all to sew it together again!

Of course, when you mix it up a little as the Disappearing 9 Patch should be, then you see why you would undertake this madness.


Love it!

And when you get 20 blocks stitched, chopped, re-stitched and trimmed square then you can have loveliness such as this -


Please don't tell me if you spot a patterned fabric which will meet itself when the blocks are joined.  We spent a fun (!) Saturday evening crawling around the floor arranging and re-arranging blocks to avoid such meetings.  I think I got there in the end!

I love these Amy Butler fabrics and think they mix up very nicely in the D9P.



PS - If you'd like to see a great tutorial for the Disappearing 9 patch block check out my lovely friend Judith's post here.
