Level of #InsanitySewing is now confirmed. Take great looking fabrics, cut and stitch them into nine patch blocks, cut again and repeat
Plan Ahead!
Try to save time by purchasing the needed fabrics in pre-cut squares.Ensure that the blocks are cut square and on the grain prior to purchase! Sad moment... I didn't... always check for wonky blocks!
Go back to the store and buy the same fabrics on bolts to re-cut needed squares. Several of the pre-cuts were skewed beyond use.
#InsanitySewing continues...Cut the 9 patch squares up!
The squares are straight but the photos were taken at a distant angle.Optional: The big trick after cutting up each nine patch in the middle is to know which ones to reposition for more #InsanitySewing! Not a necessary step if you like total randomness.
Sew the bottom row together and the top row together and each time you stitch remember to press.
#Insanity sewing continues as you stitch the top and bottom rows together!
The final result should be lots of random blocks that have the illusion of being very pieced and time involved.
Want more how to info? On YouTube search disappearing 9 block to find several useful videos on this topic. All versions bring a variety of ideas for assembly.
Here's one that made me smile with enthusiasm:
