Crazy Fun 9-Patch (January)

In this swap we are going to make crazy scrappy 9-patch blocks.

The block is super fun and scrappy.

There is a video tutorial at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkxLJhm2wPI THIS IS THE TUTORIAL YOU MUST FOLLOW TO MAKE THIS BLOCK PROPERLY. Please please please follow this tutorial. Watch the video before you sign up and make sure you understand. I say this because I have been having problems with people making any kind of scrappy block that they want.

The specifics: Start with 11- inch squares of fabric, this should leave you enough wiggle room to trim your block to 9-inches to send. Remember, it is better to have the block come out a little too big, than too small. Make sure you start with 11- inch squares! Follow the tutorial and if you have any problems, message me.

You will be making 2 sets of these 3-blocks-a-set. You will have 2 partners. You send each partner 1 block from each set and keep 1 block of each set for yourself. REPEATING TO BE CLEAR: Make two sets of three blocks. Send each partner 1 9-inch block of each set, 2 blocks total. This leaves 2 blocks (one from each set) for you to keep!

No holiday or religious fabric! Make sure you use different fabrics for each set as well. Otherwise, fabrics are SENDER'S CHOICE!

When finished each block should contain 3 pieces of each fabric. None of the same fabrics should be next to each other. Make sure you trim your blocks down to 9 inches and all 9 patches are showing.

If you receive 2 crazy 9-patch quilt blocks from your partner you MUST rate a 5.

You must have a 4.92 rating to join. No unexplained 3's or unresolved 1's. Newbies are allowed with filled out profiles.

I will cover flakers, but you will need to give the flaker a 1 rating.
