For class, please have your 3 ½” x 3 ½” -9patch units premade for class. These units are made from 1 ½” wide strips. Remember for the 9patches, the 4 corners are the colors and the center block is the color.

For your 9-patch units, if using fat quarters, I cut 3 strips (1- 1/2”) from each of the colored fabrics on the longer side of the fat quarter. From your back ground fabric (white) I cut 12- 1 ½” wide strips (width of fabric) then cut those in half so that they measured 20- 22” in length.

Make your strip sets by piecing 2 of the same colors with 1 white strip: color/white/color. (strip set 1)

Next: piece your next strip set which will be white/color/white (strip set 2) I did this with all 8 colors. Press the seams to the colored fabric. Sub cut your strip sets in 1-1/2” wide units. For every 9patch unit you will need two from strip set 1 and 1 from strip set 2. Sew your units: strip set unit 1 to strip set unit 2 press seam, last sew strip set 1 and press your seams to set 1. Make sure all 9-patches are 3 ½” x 3 ½”.
