Disappearing Nine Patch Quilt Block Tutorial

[jeri0372]

People should get the facts BEFORE they make statements like that, There are many patterns out there that still today no one knows where they originated. I had not seen that one until Jenny showed it on the show, and I must have over 100 quilt books.

Keep up the good work Jenny! Too many people love you're show to let one person to discourage you.

[SarahMSQC]

@jeri0372 Thanks! We won't let this get us down! We appreciate all of your support! Thank you!

[Grammigram]

I loved this tute and all of the others Missouri Quilt Company puts out. Yes, I am sure there are many books with the patterns in them, however for visual people like me a tute is worth a thousand words or pictures. Keep them coming PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[karejensen]

Love your tutorial! Can anyone tell me how much yardage I need to make a quilt like this? I've never made one and am at a loss! :) Thanks so much!

[jennydoan57]

@karejensen There is 3/4 yard of fabric in a charm pack and I think this quilt has about 5 or 6 charm packs in it....

[Mscottrell6422]

I love all of your videos and I'm learning so much. The tutorials with the precuts are fab. Can't wait to get to the next one will be trying a new one tomorrow. KEEP MAKING THEM. Couldn't do this without you. Love you.

[SarahMSQC]

@Mscottrell6422 Thanks so much! We are so glad you like them!!

[flanmaryj]

Wow!

[tellybabe]

Ah! Jenny,you are such a great teacher.Love all your work. Cathy in England.x

[SarahMSQC]

@tellybabe Thank Cathy!  You are too kind!! Hope you have a great day!

[chloe0812]

Absolutely love your channel!! I tried calling the store today but couldn't reach anyone. The website was taking long to upload. Just wondering if you ship to Canada if I order online. Keep up the great work!!!

[SarahMSQC]

@chloe0812 We do ship to Canada! Sorry you weren't able to get through on the phone. If you leave a message someone will get back with you. Happy quilting!

[1950Elaine]

This quilt block may have been around a long time, but there are always new people like me who have not only never heard of it, but wouldn't have a clue how to make it. I find videos are the best teaching agent for me as I have to actually see how the project is made, just reading a pattern doesn't really make sense to me. So thank you Jenny for taking the time to do this video, I really appreciate it.

Elaine

[SarahMSQC]

@1950Elaine You are very welcome!! 

[JenniBeeism]

Hi ladies! I am a new quilter and have visited you often here on youtube. You have inspired me to try new things and I am thankful for your eagerness to share your craft with us. Miss Karen at TQ should shut her yap. Just saying.

[roxiemoreland52]

What an adorable quilt and such an interesting technique. I for one want to thank you for the tutorial.

[ckleinca]

Hey-you have some of the best videos! I did pull up Quilting for Dummies believe it or not - but I had to see it to believe how to comprehend doing the strips/blocks. I am about ready to take my laptop up to the 20+ boxes of fabric waiting & create! More progress than in the last 10 years! Don't let anyone discourage you - there are scoffers in every field of "entertainment & hobby" that we visit! Problem is now I cannot decide how big the blocks should start out - and what pattern I like!

[SarahMSQC]

@ckleinca Good luck making your quilt! You will love the block and have instant success! Thanks for your sweet comment. Have a wonderful week.

[tdjohnson67]

I made this quilt and I love it. You made this pattern look so easy that I went right out and made one. It has to be one of my faves. Thank you.

[TheKingMaru]

Lovely

[Klasien]

Hello!!

I just made my first block!!! I am soooo proud of myself......Thank you so much Jenny for being my inspiration, I'm sitting here across the ocean with my laptop on, my you tell me what to do, and I do it.......

When the whole quilt is done I'll send a picture if you like. And after that I will order my fabric at your store, just bought some here to try......

Thanks again!!

Greetz,

Klasien (the Netherlands)

[SarahMSQC]

@Klasien WE can't wait to see your finished quilt!! Best of luck to you!!

[equilt1]

Hi from Scotland, I would like to say how much I enjoy your tutorials, as a newbie quilter they have help me enormously. I love how clear you make the whole process.I don't know what the negative comment was that was posted, but please know how much pleasure these tutorials give the world over, and don't let one bad comment spoil that. I have watched all your videos and truly enjoy them. Keep up the good work.

[SarahMSQC]

@equilt1 Thank you! What a sweet comment!! Have a wonderful week!

[MissWii85]

Thank you for your brilliant and very helpful videos, I am a beginner at quilting & your videos are really helping me understand what I am doing, keep up the good work!

[SarahMSQC]

@MissWii85 Keep up the good work! Quilting is such a fun adventure! Enjoy the process and have fun!

Have a wonderful week!

[Mscottrell6422]

I love your tutorial. They have helped me so much. Please don't stop making them.

[298fmr]

your videos are an inspiration to me...thanks for helping get my creative juices flowing! Just finished a couple of quilts using this technique...LOVE IT!

[barbcee]

Your videos have helped me so much. Thank you!!! Please keep making them. They are inspiring to watch.

[jhowelltx]

Jenny and Daughters---Your videos are wonderful,,especially for us beginners. You are very helpful and easy to understand. Thank you so much and PLEASE don't stop the tutorials. I watch them over and over again. Janie

[Bobbie8186]

I just finished mine using POSH by moda. Thank you for this viedo. Love, love, love this technique. As soon as I get it put together i will post a photo.

[Westernwilson]

Nice tute! I love D9P but I prefer NOT to use charm packs, which end up making the quilt really busy, visually. I like using fewer fabrics, say 5 lights and 5 darks (from the same collection to keep things easy if you can), or use a couple of solids to kind of tame the patterns. D9P is a great, fast way to put together quilts...I use it a lot for lap/tv watching quilts!

[HunaWoman]

Thank you for a great tutorial! I would never have thought of doing the large 9 patch and cutting it up - genius! And I don't care who thought of it, thank you for teaching us about it!

[roosterjane1]

This is going to be my 12 year old neice's first quilt project. It is perfect. She is quilting in 4-H, and has limited experience!

[nessaAnda89]

@jennydoan57 thank you so much, i hope i can do it but thank you agian. :)

[TheUnionlady1]

When I watch your tutorials, I feel as if there is nothing I cannot do! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

[nessaAnda89]

I’m planning on making a quilt for my niece and nephew I have never made a quilt before but I wanted to make it out of their baby cloths and so I wanted to know if it maters what kind of fabric I use to make the quilt? can I use any fabric?

[jennydoan57]

@nessaAnda89 Just watch to make sure the fabric is not stretchy. If it is stabilize it and then you should be fine. What a sweet idea!

[thebluebunny1]

hi i love this sewing method it really cuts down the time what kinds of threads are strong to sew with on the machine im sewing a quilt together and im just wondering which threads is the best to use

[babyvarshu]

Hi Jenny, love all your tutorial. I started with searching for the baby quilt and have been hooked to your tutorial since then. You're just a great teacher. I have learned lot of techniques not having any previous quilting background. Hats off to you!

[csdelcanto]

Hello Jenny, I want to thank you for sharing this fab projects, I've alwas wanted to do a quilt and now thaks to you I'm so inspired that I'm thinking to start my own business. I just hope someday I could visit the MissouriQuiltCo.

Greetings from Chile <3 MissouriQuiltCo Tutorials

[ginbing123]

you guys are awesome!



[1955annemarie]

I would love to be able to master this technique; I am not a "sewer," but I've made a few baby rag quilts and would like to try my hand at your version, but I am wondering HOW do you get the beautiful aqua in your quilt and along your border? and how do you get that wonderful quilt stitching all through your quilt? Do you have to have a special machine?? I don't even know how to sew!! (help!)

[jennydoan57]

@1955annemarie I used the aqua as a solid in the center squares and also the border. We do have a quilting machine and that is what puts the quilting in. We are working on a tutorial for Hand quilting.

[1955annemarie]

@jennydoan57 Thank you so much!! I am also wondering HOW do I get a "clean corner" border?? I just love the colors, and the way they come together, on the quilt in your demonstration...oh! how I wish there was a class that taught what you do!!

[jennydoan57]

@1955annemarie We do have classes go to Sympoz and you will see a class called Quilting Quickly Thank you!

[scarred811]

Thanks to this video, I just finished my first quilt top today. I'm so excited. Thank you so much for showing how to make this block!

[Bren462]

I found your site last night by chance and stayed up very late watching youtube after youtube with your wonderful inspiring quilting skills! I made two very simple but beautiful lap quilts for Christmas gifts this year and they were so well received and fun to do that I wanted to graduate to something a bit more challenging...this tutorial will let it LOOK more challenging when it is basically a breeze! Thank you! I'm your newest fan, but you obviously have many! Bren

[balaubacher]

Just read you answer to Karen Quilts....please don't let anyone discourage you from continuing your tuts....they have helped me in so many ways and I'm sure many others as well. I love your videos and can't wait for new ones. I have so many projects in my mind now that I've learned how to make blocks I would never have tried!!! Not ALL TEXANS are like her!!! A Texas girl myself! Told my husband I have to go to Missouri to your shop! Thank you for all your help!

[sdfife]

LOVE LOVE Missouri Quilt Company. So willing to share Quilting tips and tricks. Thank you for continuing to provide helpful Sewing and Quilting Ideas to all of us New to the Quilting world that don't know about all the different patterns out today much less who wrote what. Again Thank you and Keep the Ideas Coming.

[kjsewgirl]

I wonder if @KarenQuiltsTexas has written such hateful remarks to Sewing with Nancy, Eleanor Burns, Fons & Porter and I could go on and on with all the websites/youtube videos that demonstrate the D9Patch..Please continue what you do best with such an honest approach to help "US" learn quickly with wonderful results. I love all your tuts and you're a blessing to me!!

[martilindsey]

I love your tutorials! I used a disappearing 9 patch tutorial from another quilter to make an I-Spy quilt last week...my first! I'm pretty sure it's a traditonal pattern, like many quilt patterns. Please don't be deterred by the quilt police, as you know there is no such thing.

[shawnapow]

How many finished blocks were used in your baby quilt? Thanks so much for sharing, its so fun to see and watch your wonderful ideas.

[superspencer78]

I guess @KarenQuiltsTexas thinks she's the quilt pattern police ! PLEASE ! Love your tutorials Jenny and just received my fabric last week... LOVE IT ! Can't wait to get started !!!!!!

[KarenQuiltsTexas]

Shame on you for giving no credit to the author of this pattern! Copyrighted by Nancy Brenan Daniels - in her book, "Disappearing Nine Patch"! Published by the American Society of Needlework some years ago. Please give credit where credit is due..., especially when you are profiting from this!

[MissouriQuiltCo]

@KarenQuiltsTexas Hi Karen, not sure what you're talking about exactly. I haven't read all the quilting books out there, but the disappearing nine patch has been around for a long time, so it may have been mentioned in that book.  I am not profiting from this at all actually, I'm just helping people figure out how to master this technique. If you know of a book where this is also taught, that would also be a great resource, please share, but there is no need to call down shame on me

[hellbunny992]

@MissouriQuiltCo As balaubacher said it so well. Don't let that nasty person discourage you. I LOVE all your videos. I've never machine sewn or quilted (I sew by hand and machine embroider)before but after coming across your videos I bought a new embroidery/sewing machine so that I can make a quilt. I'm a total newbie at quilting, I really like your clear and simple instructions. I'm going to buy your video Course at sympoz.com as I'm in London so wouldn't be able to go to a class in the USA

[hellbunny992]

@KarenQuiltsTexas How does she need to give credit here? She is just showing how to make the 9 patch. She did not say she invented the technique! And she is not making money off of showing people how to make a quilt! The tutorials are free. So if I sell paper and pens and show people how to use the pen on paper and how to fold the paper into a hat, does that mean I must give credit to the person/s that invented paper/pen? Get over yourself. Stop being a drama queen and stop being a twat!!!

[sauceykat]

@KarenQuiltsTexas from what I've read, Nancy Daniels' book has a DIFFERENT pattern for the disappearing nine patch. Also, there have been other books published before or at the same time as hers with this pattern (Karen Hallaby's "Magic Pillows, Hidden Quilts" for example). To think that someone magically invented these quilt patterns as recently as the last decade is foolish. Most of these patterns have been around for over 100 years or were present in other non-quilting geometry. Yeesh.

[hobbystash]

@KarenQuiltsTexas Good thing you didn't pick the Ohio Star...you'd be quite busy criticizing all those videos.

[momof3friends]

You are a quilting angel!

[SuperTwiceBlessed]

This is an adorable idea and I plan on trying this method tomorrow..can you do any size squares 4 1/2- 6 1/2 inches? Nine different fabrics great way to use up a stash. Can you do flannel?

[jennydoan57]

@SuperTwiceBlessed You can use any size or any fabric!!! You go girl!

[heyjamip]

I made this tonight! Thanks so much - loved making it!

[lorileeslove]

wonderful! cant wait to try

[MaggieMuffet]

I tried this method for a Christmas baby quilt, it went to fast quickly. Just love it.

[quilterstitch]

I think this is one my favorite videos you have shown us. What a great time saver. You could even start with 8" squares or 10" (layer cakes) & sew up those nine-patches, for a really fast project! With the layer cakes, I'd think you'd want a significant print on all 4 outside corners as you pointed out, since these will not get cut down. If you used solids on the outside corners, these would make great open spaces for some appliques. Thanks Jenny

[jilrwinburn]

y'all are brilliant!

[saintben2008]

best idea i've seen in a while

[cbnfvr1]

I love this idea. Looks similar to the "Take Five" pattern, but easier sewing. We love when the seams don't have to match up perfectly, it's much easier to assemble rows. Thanks for your enthusiasm & bright ideas.

[Rekkanotara]

I love your guys' tutorials =)

I would love to see videos on making scalloped edges/ plain borders and mitered corners. Very helpful and inspiring; thanks!

[OKIEPrincipal]

I love this. Just finished a lap quilt using this method. Keep inventing great ideas!

Carla

[TEEWEE01]

thats a really adorable baby quilt love it.

[MultiGrammi]

I just LOVE this idea! I'm getting a "new" sewing room makeover and am anxious to make a quilt for our bed to make it look nice this winter. We also have 2 babies coming into our family and I want to make a quilt that will become a keepsake! I just joined the website and am looking forward to seeing everyone's creations!

MultiGrammi*

[milbec23]

Great idea! Looks terrific when it's done. How did you make the rounded edges?

Thank you for the tutorial.

MMB

[cascades92]

@TheLcoles i was wondering the same thing. plz make a quick tutorial on scallop edges Jenny. thanks in advance :) ps: this was a fun tip. thank u for all these wonderful videos, they are simply great!

[TheLcoles]

Thanx for the tutorial!! How do you scallop your edges?

[mbljohnson]

this is soooooooo cool

[jeannie6911]

great video....can we have instructions for the border? - please....

[yummymam]

Hi! Jenny.Your tips are very useful for my work. You are such a clever quilter. I wish to have some kind of your shop here. I live in Udon Thani. It was located in North easthern of Thailand. Thanks again for such a idea.

[dorjean6280]

I agree, Jenny, when's the tutorial on the scalloped border. I'm dragging out my charm packs (Susan Branch) and I'm gonna do it - right now.

[southerncrafts]

how did you do that border? we need another tutorial ! please :)

[OKIEPrincipal]

It's 10:30 p.m. and I'm digging in my stash for a charm packet. I love this idea!

[TheBuford123]

Jenny, I love the tutorials. I have a question, since this is my first quilt. Are the seams pressed open, or to one side? Thank you.

[mpenstone1]

That is so clever!!! I am in love with your tutorials.

[nanapam321]

I love your quilting videos. Do you have printed copies of your instructions. 

[TheJanluna]

Wow. this is fantastic! Thanks again.

[2151carolann]

Unbelieveable, You have such great ideas. Thank you for sharing

[ansaba2]

Thanks, what a easy and lovely quilt.

[luv2shop4fabric]

Thisi s yet another easy way to do this, I have several charm packs, thank you Jenny for another great job!

[Vanilla1tsp]

OH This is brilliant! I did the tutorial of tube quilting that makes the double hourglass and it was so easy. This disappearing 9 looks so simple too!

[kelandspence]

Love this quilt ! I love all of your tutorials ! I'm looking forward to the next !

[midisu]

Wonderfull! I love all of your videos and thanks for sharing this great block. I am going to make one tonight!

[pixielove2000]

Awesome! I'm going to try this one.

[jayneleigh10]

This is genius. Love it!

[piebaldbully]

Fanstastic... thanks for another great tutorial.. Wendi

[sewandsow]

Love it!!!!! I have enjoyed all your videos. Keep them coming.

[angelab292]

What a great idea! This is perfect because I've been looking for a new but simple way to spruce up my quilts. Thank you!

[NicNacNot]

Love the way it looks hard but isn't. Great pattern.

[Godzoned]

awesome idea.

I could do that! Would be a different take on my quilts... I'm always doing squares as I'm afraid of doing anything else just in case I stuff up. lol

[iceytouch]

Love it !

[sahara64]

how many charm packs would you suggest for a larger quilt or throw?

[rbrtross49]

@sahara64 I love the magic of your tutorials.
