Raid the Stash Week 8
Block #8 - Snowball Nine Patch
We'll do this one nice and quick using some strip piecing methods to make up the nine-patch!
Select 2 fabrics + your base for each block.
Cut 1 : 3.5" squares from colour 1
Cut 1 : 6" x 1.5" from colour 1
Cut 1 : 3.5" squares from colour 2
Cut 2 : 3" x 1.5" from colour 2
Cut 2 : 6" x 1.5" from your base colour
Cut 1 : 3" x 1.5" from your base colour
Cut 8 : 1.5" squares from your base colour
Sew together your 6" strips with the colour in the middle, then sew together your 3" strips with the colour on the outside. Press seams towards the base colour then cut into 1.5" strips.
Take the 1.5" strips (each should have the colour and base) and sew them in rows to form the 2 nine square sections. Press and set aside.
Mark the diagonal on all of the 1.5" base squares. Stitch along the diagonal in all 4 corners of your 3.5" squares. No base colour should overlap. Press seams open.
Stitch a 9 patch to a "snowball" to form rows, press and join together to finish the block.
Repeat to make 4 blocks with different fabrics.
