I made my 9 block square, cut it in the middle both ways, but cannot for the life of me arrange it so there are no seams to match up. I have at least one seam to match with every block on every row. Does anyone else have this problem, although it's not a life changing problem or is it just me? :icon_neutral:
I guess it depends on how you're wanting to put it together. When I do mine, it's been a while, the only seams that have to be matched are the little middle corner blocks, and again when you put the rows together, does that make sense? The only way I can think of that you don't have to match seams is if you don't match the inner corners of the block itself.

The lower image shows how to turn your pieces so there are no matching seams within the block.
My thinking is that you still have to match those cross seams when you put block to block and row to row... never did see the "No seams to match" thing myself. LOL. There is always a seam somewhere.
But, I get what Karen is saying... no seams in the blocks match...
O.K. Maybe I should clarify...when I cut my 9 square block in half each way and turn them and sew them back together every thing is o.k. But when I go to put the disappearing blocks together I always have a seam to match somewhere. I was thinking there were no seams to match in the whole thing as you sew the disappearing blocks together. Does this make sense? Am I wrong about that? If so, I'm going to bop myself on the head cause I have unpinned and re-arranged a dozen times.
Yes, you will have seams after you put the D9P block to block, and you set them row to row.
There are always going to be seams to match when you sew the resewn 9 patches together. There is no way around that.
Just call it practicing.Quote:

It's a mess . lol
Thank you! I sure wish I had asked this earlier instead of banging my head. I guess I just assumed that since there were no seams to match at the beginning it was that way to the end. When she said, "look at that. No seams to match" my ears must have quit listening.Quote:

I like to use this pic when I'm doing my layout. It makes quick work of the process. As you can see, you will only have to line up the seams between the blocks.
Stop bothering me!! Gosh you guys... every time I read this... I want to make another D9P!! I have a long list of things I should be working on! I'm almost a year behind on my list now! I have my next list read to start too. I need rest!
I want to do one with only three fabrics. Okay I'll leave you alone now:lol:Quote:

Oh... that's nice. I can see that in many combos of 3. I have two charm packs of the Hello Gorgeous line, to do one, and the yardage in the large flowers on black for border. I keep thinking I want to do the center a solid... but not sure. I thought of the black or the pink...
I pm'd her (cuz I'm nosey) She cut her squares at 91/2'' . Her ears must be ringing now. lol
The Christmas FC I did last year, I cut the charms at 6 or 7 inches.. I'd have to go look. I really liked it.
Definitely. It's my very first project and is a learning process.Quote:
