Technique #2: 2 squares = 2 Nine Patches
This post contains affiliate links for which I receive compensation.
This is a sweet little technique for making nine patch quilt blocks two at a time—a positive (dark squares in the corners) and a negative (light squares in the corners)—from two squares of fabric.
The perfect place to use this is a quilt made of nothing but nine patches, set edge to edge, with no sashing.
Pros:
- Fast, easy and no marking
- You're not cutting and sewing 9 individual patches a patch at a time
- It's fun
Cons:
- You have a positive and a negative block, usually patterns call for one or the other, but not both in the same block.
The Technique
The Formula
Cut two contrasting squares equal to the finished size of the Nine Patch block plus 1-1/2'.
Divide this number by 3. We'll call it the Cutting Number.
Step 1
For a 4-1/2' finished Nine Patch the calculation is:
4-1/2' + 1-1/2' = 6'
Cut one 6' square from each of two contrasting fabrics.

To calculate the 'cutting number' divide 6' by 3 which equal 2'.
Step 2

With RST, align all the edges and stitch a 1/4' seam on two opposite sides. Use pins to hold the square together if needed. You'll want to keep all the edges even.
Step 3
Give the unit a quick press to keep things neat.
Now we'll need the 'cutting number' that we calculated as 2' back in Step 1.
At the rotary cutting mat, align the 2' line of the ruler with one of the stitched edges. Cut. Align the 2' line of the ruler with the freshly cut edge and make another cut.
Press the pieced strips, first closed to set the seam and then towards the darker fabric.
You now have two 2-strip units that measure 3-1/2' x 6' and two single strips, one of each fabric, that each measure 2' x 6'.
Step 4
Layout these pieces in a light-dark-light and a dark-light-dark order.
Step 5
With RST, stitch the single dark strip to the light strip in one of the sewn units.
With RST, stitch the single light strip to the dark strip of the remaining 2-strip unit.
Press as before with seams towards the dark.
Your strips sets look like this. Both should measure 5' x 6' at this point. (Remember our finished block size is 4-1/2'—which is 5' unfinished.
Step 6

With right sides together and matching seam allowances, stitch the two short sides together. (The seams will nest to help with the alignment.)
Step 7
Press flat.
Cut in from both sewn edges by the cutting number (2') and you have this. This is the second cut in the photo below.

Step 8
Now layout the patchwork pieces in positive (dark in the corners and center) and a negative (light in the corners and center) nine patch quilt blocks like this.
Step 9
With RST, sew the corresponding strips set together. Pin if needed to match seam allowances.
After stitching, press flat to set the seam and then open towards the darker fabric in the outside patches.
That's all there is to it to making two Nine Patch quilt blocks from just two squares of fabric.

Have you ever made a 'Disappearing Nine-Patch Quilt'? This is such a fun pattern and great for beginner quilters. You can change the pattern of the quilt by changing the colors of the patches and the layout. It is made by sewing a simple 9-Patch block and then cutting it in quarters and repositioning the new blocks. I love the simple Halloween colors of Black, White and Orange. I found this black, orange and white wavy boarder from Riley Blake Designs. I think it totally makes the quilt! Here's how you can make one:
Finished quilt: 49″ x 62″
Materials:
assorted orange and black fabric
1 yard solid white
3/4 yard solid black for inner boarder and binding
3/4 yard orange and black wavy stripe
Begin by cutting 5″ squares of orange, white and black. For this quilt I pieced (12) nine-patch blocks. Each block had the same color values: orange corners, white side centers and black center. I used a variety of oranges and blacks.
cut (12) black 5″ squares
cut (48) orange 5″ squares
cut (48) white 5″ squares.
Using 1/4″ seams throughout, sew squares together in rows and then rows together to form the block. Press toward the dark. The block will look like this:
Cut in quarters. Since the block at this point measures 14″ square, cut it at the 7″ point on both sides:
Next comes the fun part of playing with the layout. I choose to lay mine out like this so the small black squares made a pattern.
Sew the blocks together in rows and the rows together and press.
For the boarder:
The black inner boarder is cut 1.5″ wide. I didn't measure the length, I sewed it to the sides of the quilt and trimmed the excess.
The wavy outer boarder is 5″ wide. I matched the stripes when piecing the boarder together. I added 5″ squares to the corners of the boarder.
I LOVE how it turned out! I have it on my couch and it makes me happy to look at it. Now, to just keep the cat off it 🙂
