What a brilliant idea. Thank you for playing with it and then for sharing it with us. Isn’t the quilting world marvellous for its sharing and helping others. 🪡🧵
My head is spinning! So are those blocks! I can’t decide which way to go. But, of course, I think you’ve covered every single source and way to do it. Maybe not? Lisa Louise you are amazing and I love watching you every time you post.thank you for an amazing quilt top again.
Could you tell my head was spinning, too, Ann?! This tutorial was such a joy to make and I had so much fun. I'm glad you liked it, too! Now I need to challenge myself to fun some other ideas with these simple 9-patch blocks. Thanks so much for watching. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Wow! What a great idea!!! I'm loving the mixture of low contrast with the brighter colors. I absolutely can't wait to try this. Your enthusiasm is definitely catching. 💞😻
Combining low volume fabrics with bright colors is the perfect recipe for eye-catching designs, Maryanne. Get ready to wow everyone with your quilts! Thanks for watching. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
They are an amusing 'flock' of blocks to look at, Cynthia! These FG will make an awesome quilt. Sure appreciate you following along! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
That's what makes this block so much fun, Debbie! Glad you enjoyed my antics of getting there! 😂 Quilting always entertains me which is why I enjoy sharing it all via videos. Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Don't be intimidated, Debbie! Just take it one step at a time and you'll do fine. You'll enjoy making your own and seeing how different the results can be! Thanks so much for watching. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Very clever combinations with the various cuts, twists and turns. Thank you so much tor sharing your passion of quilting and half square triangles. The flying geese blocks are phenomenal.❤ ❤
I enjoy seeing your mix of scraps in your blocks. I love sewing with my scraps. You are a bit of a perfectionist, though, but I'm sure many viewers appreciate the tips in small details.
Thanks for the compliment! Perfectionist, Creative, Obsessive, Curious, etc., can all certainly fit, Nina! It's probably what pushes me outside the box which is what I love to do! My fussy nature keeps my mind going in circles sometimes and often results in some creative ideas. I really appreciate your comment! Thanks for watching. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Thank you, Paula! I can't wait to get some more blocks finished and see how they all look together. Glad you stopped by to watch! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Wow! So pretty! I never would have thought to cut a DNP, diagonally! Ooo, put a plain sqr on top, sew the outer borders, cut diagonally and you got 4 (1/2's) done! Definitely trying this!
So glad, Kathy! I can't wait to make this quilt now that I have the blocks figure out. So many options to choose from with these D9P blocks! Sure appreciate you following along! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Congrats, awesome to hear your ABI quilt is nearly finished! You'll definitely enjoy making this one. Thanks so much for following along! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Glad you like them, Patricia! This was quite an adventure getting to the final block. It'll sure make a great quilt. Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Who knew a Gaggle of Geese could make such a beautiful Flock of Blocks, Lesley! This was great fun and I'm still smiling when I look at these colorful geese. They're still on the table and looking very happy! Sure appreciate you following along. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
@InspiredQuiltingByLeaLouise , can I just say AAAAHMAZING?! I love how your creative brain works and that you’re generous enough to share it with the rest of us! I love this so much I’ve already been calculating how many blocks I need to make to make a throw for myself! I absolutely love your collection of all fabrics, but that you use low volume so much! I’m quite partial to them. Thanks so much for your generosity and sharing! Off to do a few baby charity quilts like this first! 😊
Wow, thank you so much! You'll have fun making these blocks and what a fantastic quilt they'll make! Sure appreciate you following along. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
I too prefer a 'controlled scrappy' color way so I appreciate you sharing your process as you lay out the 9 patch as well as the pinning tips. Great tutorial.
Glad to see you're a fan of the "organized scrappy" style too, Marsha! It's like organized chaos, right? Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
I really love the way you go step by step. I'm a newbie to quilting and so excited on trying this tutorial ☺️. But first I need to finish my Granddaughters quilt and her baby dolls matching quilt. Thank you for taking the time to make these tutorials and sharing with us!
So glad you enjoyed watching my tutorial! These flying geese look awesome and are such fun to make. Get those quilts finished so you can get started on your FG quilt! Thanks for watching. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
😊 I am just about done with her twin size quilt. All that is left to do is add the binding and quilt it. I will hand quilt it like my grandmother did when I was a young girl. She hand quilted with yarn. I can't wait to try the flying geese one. But that will have to be a smaller one 😉
Thank you so much, Andrea! Quilting should be all about fun and not fussing over if everything is perfect...b/c it never will be. So simply enjoy the journey! Yes, this one had me very excited and am so pleased with the results. Already thinking about a few other options, too. Sure appreciate you following along! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
So happy you enjoyed this, Abi! Hope your boss understands just how important quilting is! 😂 I used to visit the Nashua Mall regularly when we lived in MA - we were practically neighbors! Thanks so much for watching. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise

Welcome, Lin! Glad you enjoy my easy going style. Quilting should be fun, creative, and easy to do. That's how I love to quilt and exactly what I share with viewers. Appreciate you watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
You and me both, Christine! This tutorial took on a life of its own and even had me guessing just how it would turn out. It was definitely a fun block to work with! Appreciate you watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
So glad to hear, Vicki! It's a wonderful block and great fun to make. Thanks so much for watching. Be sure to check back for more quilting inspiration! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Thank you, Elizabeth! 😃 Viewers like you keep me motivated to quilt and come up with new ideas. My payoff is being able to play with lots of fabrics! That's a win-win for all❣ Appreciate you watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
I’m speechless-this is one of the best ideas I’ve seen! I love flying geese and the disappearing 9 patch and you managed to combine them in such a wonderful block! Outstanding, thanks so much!
Got it, Corina! Just got home from a cruise last night and I'm already thinking about it. 😍 I love this block and know other will have fun with it too! Thanks for watching. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Dear Lea, How pretty! I've done the regular disappearing nine patch, now I have to try this method. I really like the flying geese aspect. Thank you. Lovely fabric! Also thanks for all the great different tips, techniques. Take care. Marion in Oregon.
Hi Marion in Oregon! You'll enjoy making this version. I hope the tips will make it all much easier, too. Appreciate you watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Oh my! Oh my! Oh my! I’ve done a few quilts ( as you have) and triangles are a challenge for sure! You tried real hard to guide us through this -- but you nearly lost me ( or maybe it was the editing) I’ll be back Thanks for making my brain hurt
This video completely surprised me, too, Jayne! I got caught up in the what-ifs and just kept going. There will definitely be a follow up to give more details. Thanks for hanging in there! Appreciate you watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Love D9P ideas, they are a great way to make a quick quilt. Just watch your shapes as at 31:35 you just can't help but read those shapes as a swastika...
That's something I noticed with other layouts, too. After researching old quilt patterns I found that particular layout dates back way before it became associated with WWII. It's unfortunate when something intended to be beautiful is stolen and turned into an evil message. Though I totally agree with you, it's not an appropriate block to use. Thanks for your comment. I appreciate you following along! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Yes, it’s a shame that we all see a swastika first, but that may be due to the current political environment!!! I’m choosing to just see it as another quilt design
I find that if i use a grooved out pressure foot and move my needle over to have a quarter inch seam , it makes a huge difference. I see you are using a viking so use the B pressure foot. You will be amazed how well that works.
This is a very interesting assembly of pieces. My apologies for the criticism. You are allowing MANY bias edges. When sewing or ironing, you MUST be careful not to STRETCH your edges!! When I work with biased edges, I STARCH the devil out of it to offer some stiffness to prevent wobbling or bubbling edges. If not, you can get wonky shapes to your quilt. Happy Sewing!! 🍀 Thank you for sharing this interesting pattern. 😊
Interesting video. Please don't put the fingers of your left hand on either side of your cut line. If your rotary cutter slipped, you could cut into your hand between the fingers which ir very dangerous. Safety First.!!!
You're absolutely correct, Kris! I didn't even realize I did that and definitely need to be more aware! Thanks for the safety tip. Sure appreciate you watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Absolutely, Christine! Two ways I can think of off the top of my head. The easiest: Cut a background fabric square the size of your 4-patch. Draw a diagonal line from corner to corner and place on your 4-patch. Then sew a 1/4-inch seam along each side. Cut along the line and you now have 2 HSTs. Mix them up and join them together for a Flying Geese block. #2 would be for a larger size 4-patch. Follow the same steps except you'll draw two diagonal lines in both directions. Then sew and cut as above, making two cuts for this block. You'll finish with four HSTs that you can join together. It'd sure be fun to try! Thanks for watching. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Sometimes I need to do that, too, Anita! Pairing up these FG first helps get a handle on placement. I'll probably assemble multiple 4-patches then put the quilt together. It's certainly a brain teaser! Thanks for following along! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Your blocks turned out beautiful. To me, that looks very hard to do. I have never made a Disappearing Nine-Patch Block. However, I have watched several videos where other people did make them. Your way looks like it will be the hardest. You made me dizzy several times during this video. So I stopped the video, waited a while, then went back to watching. I do have a lot of issues with my eyes.
You can do it, Arvetta! This video is a follow up the introduction that may be what you'd enjoy watching first at this link: ruclips.net/video/t75jugW0LoY/видео.html This video link above starts at the beginning and will help you understand how to make your disappearing 9-patch block. Once you understand how to make the 9-patch, the rest is lots of fun to play with. Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Please be careful with your cutting! I cringed when you’re cutting an area that was missed and you were holding the fabric and almost cutting it between your fingers ❤. Otherwise, what a great way to cut the nine patch. So different than the vertical/horizontal lines.
At 31:43 all I see is an unfortunate swastika shape. My husband pointed one of those out to me in a previous project so I decided to change it. All the other many options work well enough. ❤
Totally understand, Anita! This quilt block goes way back before WWII and I'm not going to let politics take it away. Just my thoughts though I realize not everyone may agree. Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Good point, Karen. This design is actually a very old, traditional block used long before WWII. I realized it in another quilt I made and did some research. I'll stick with the traditional quilters interpretations and stay away from the politics. Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Yes, you do, Susie. Here's my thought on that. The swastika was a quilt pattern long before it was a sign of hatred. Perhaps we can now use it as it was originally intended. Thanks for your comment. Appreciate you watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
@@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise I still think you should be respectful as Jews are being persecuted all over the world today with swastikas being painted all over monuments, and Jewish homes etc.... There are pleanty of other designs as you said to make with those other configurations and not perpetuate the bad feelings that others may feel seeing this. Steven West did just that on a huge Knit along with a mystery shawl just last year. He had every one rework the beginning of a shawl after they noticed this in his MKAL.
I love the pattern you developed and will definitely try it. Thanks.
Wonderful, Merrilee! Enjoy making your own. Thanks for watching! Happy Quilting,

I agree. This might be the one time I'd press the 9patch open vs pressing to nest the seams. Cool block!
These are some thick seams and pressing them open helped a lot! Thanks so much for watching. Happy Quilting,

Absolutely, Christine! Two ways I can think of off the top of my head. The easiest: Cut a background fabric square the size of your 4-patch. Draw a diagonal line from corner to corner and place on your 4-patch. Then sew a 1/4-inch seam along each side. Cut along the line and you now have 2 HSTs. Mix them up and join them together for a Flying Geese block. #2 would be for a larger size 4-patch. Follow the same steps except you'll draw two diagonal lines in both directions. Then sew and cut as above, making two cuts for this block. You'll finish with four HSTs that you can join together. It'd sure be fun to try! Thanks for watching. Happy Quilting,

If I had all your blocks, I'm pretty sure I would have to layout the whole selection beforehand.
Sometimes I need to do that, too, Anita! Pairing up these FG first helps get a handle on placement. I'll probably assemble multiple 4-patches then put the quilt together. It's certainly a brain teaser! Thanks for following along! Happy Quilting,

Your blocks turned out beautiful. To me, that looks very hard to do. I have never made a Disappearing Nine-Patch Block. However, I have watched several videos where other people did make them. Your way looks like it will be the hardest. You made me dizzy several times during this video. So I stopped the video, waited a while, then went back to watching. I do have a lot of issues with my eyes.
You can do it, Arvetta! This video is a follow up the introduction that may be what you'd enjoy watching first at this link: ruclips.net/video/t75jugW0LoY/видео.html
This video link above starts at the beginning and will help you understand how to make your disappearing 9-patch block. Once you understand how to make the 9-patch, the rest is lots of fun to play with. Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting,

Try using a rotary cutting board to trim the squares. It spins so you never need to turn the fabric.
That's a very good idea, Sheila! It definitely makes trimming easier. Appreciate you watching! Happy Quilting,

Please be careful with your cutting! I cringed when you’re cutting an area that was missed and you were holding the fabric and almost cutting it between your fingers ❤. Otherwise, what a great way to cut the nine patch. So different than the vertical/horizontal lines.
Thanks for the reminder, Pat! Thanks for watching! Happy Quilting,

At 31:43 all I see is an unfortunate swastika shape. My husband pointed one of those out to me in a previous project so I decided to change it. All the other many options work well enough. ❤
Totally understand, Anita! This quilt block goes way back before WWII and I'm not going to let politics take it away. Just my thoughts though I realize not everyone may agree. Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting,

Ummmm, pink swastika
Good point, Karen. This design is actually a very old, traditional block used long before WWII. I realized it in another quilt I made and did some research. I'll stick with the traditional quilters interpretations and stay away from the politics. Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting,

I noticed that too. I’ll definitely avoid that specific combination when using this method.
Careful I'm seeing swastika in your design
Yes, you do, Susie. Here's my thought on that. The swastika was a quilt pattern long before it was a sign of hatred. Perhaps we can now use it as it was originally intended. Thanks for your comment. Appreciate you watching! Happy Quilting,

@@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise I still think you should be respectful as Jews are being persecuted all over the world today with swastikas being painted all over monuments, and Jewish homes etc.... There are pleanty of other designs as you said to make with those other configurations and not perpetuate the bad feelings that others may feel seeing this. Steven West did just that on a huge Knit along with a mystery shawl just last year. He had every one rework the beginning of a shawl after they noticed this in his MKAL.
