Hey! Today we’re making the second of the blocks from our quilt block series. We’re going to be putting together a simple 9-patch block. These work well in sample quilts, but are sewn together so quickly you can create a pile of them and make a quilt just from this block alone if you like!

You’ll need 9 squares of fabric for this. You’ll need to use at least two designs or colours to get the best effect from the block, you’ll want to cut five from one fabric and four from the other. Each square needs to be 4.5 x 4.5 inches.

I’m making this one a little differently in order to show you a method I use to ensure accurate points between fabrics. For this you’ll need a 13.5x13.5 inch piece of fusible interfacing. Ensure whatever you use is only fusible on one side.

Firstly, lay your interfacing sticky side up.

Then lay your fabric squares right side up so that the back is against the sticky side of the interfacing. Make sure at this point that all the interfacing is covered or you’ll end up with glue stuck to your iron.

Iron all your squares in place.

Now use the edges of the fabric as a guide and fold over where the first two columns join.

Sew down that seam at ¼” seam allowance.

While it’s still folded over, cut the seam allowance down the centre, or, if you want to do this quickly, cut off a tiny bit off the edge like I am. This will mean (if you prefer) you can press the seams open. For me, I decided to just press them downwards so I didn’t need to cut it, but it would have been neater.

Repeat for the other column.

Rotate the block and do the same thing again to sew the seams running in the other direction.

Turn it over and give it a press from the top and there you have it! Perfect points every time!

If you plan to make an entire quilt from this particular block, I would suggest, as usual, not trimming this until you have them all made. That way you can trim them all down to the size of your smallest.

I forgot to set the timer going for this one, so it’s not going in the 10 minute challenge category – however, it took less than ten minutes to create the block using this method, which is great if you want to create a quilt top in a hurry!
