D9P tutorial

there are many D9P tutorials on the web...
here is my version of one that I did two years ago...
I call it my right twist method....

I used a charm pack...
matched the same design of different colors...

I used a solid color for the centers of each 9 patch...

here are three 9 patches laying side by side...

then each one is cut down the center vertically and then horizontally..
each of the 9 patches now have 4 blocks...
I right twist each block one turn...

then following the photo sew all together for a tablerunner...
I quilted it with loops, hearts, stars, name and date, etc....
I brought the back to the front for self binding...
then I used different decorative stitches to finish the binding!!

Father's Day

remembering our fathers every day....
and Happy Father's day to all fathers today....

next part of D4P tutorial

In the previous post I started the D4P tutorial...
the 4 charm squares were sewn together into a 4 patch...
then with 4 cuts it became a 9 patch (9 pieces)...
I used 3 different fabrics instead of 2 fabrics...
(google for disappearing 4 patch tutorial)

next is my method of finishing...
leave the 4 outside squares as they are...
move the center outside sections as follows:
left to the right and the right to the left
top to the bottom and the bottom to the top
then turn the center square 180 degrees...

sew the sections together...

I like how this turned out...

D4P

looking through my notebook of ideas from blogs...
the disappearing 4 patch was one I wanted to try...
there are soooo many ideas and I forgot about this one from March...
start with 4 charm squares and sew them together...

then cut 1" away from center seams...

the links and more later....
