How Many Disappearing 4 Patches and Disappearing 9 Patches Variations Exist?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 июн 2021
- Learn about some of the variations possible for disappearing 4 and 9 patch blocks, including half-square triangles and diagonal cutting of 4 patches.
These blocks are traditional blocks that have been changed to create 100's of variations that can be arranged into quilts to make each quilt unique.
Tula Pink fabric was used in many of the blocks. I also use "moo" and "cow" prints from my stash dating back to 1993.
How many of these quilts have you made?

I have recently become fascinated with disappearing blocks. Thank you for putting so much information all together in one video.
lovely to see the variations have done lots of 9 patch but will now have a go at 4 blocks. Also have done quilts using double disappearing 9 patch blocks
Great teacher! Enjoyed learning about the 4-patch and 9-patch. THANKS!
Yay, another ambidextrous quilter! You dont see us very often.
About the ruler slipping -- the best thing i have ever found is clear Flex Seal. Yeah, that spray-on rubber stuff. 😂 Those rulers do not move! It does make your ruler look a bit frosted, but once its on the fabric you cant see it anymore.

Love all the variables!❤
I have made several Disappearing 9-patch quilts but you have shown me that the 4-patch is just as versatile. I can't wait to start one. I'm making donation quilts for my doctor's homebound and hospice patients. I get all the fun of trying out new patterns and other people benefit, so it's a win-win.
What a great idea, a win-win indeed. Thanks for your smart sharing & generosity.
What a wonderful tutorial. The best that I have ever seen. I would never have attempted some of the variations of the four patches. It is so great that you took the time to show all the different way and in detail
It had never occurred to me to do a disappearing block on the diagonal before!
I made this similar pattern for my granddaughter using 18" squares. 5" cut from two sides making a 5" square, 2 5"x13" rectangles and a 13" square. It's amazing
You instructions were very well presented starting with such a simple block and creating so many options. Thank you!
If you don't have a rotating mat a smallish mat that you can pick-up and move would work well.

If I'm cutting something like this I try to cut closer to the edge of my table so I can just walk around it when I need the second cut.
Wow! Loved your demonstration.
Wow! I am fascinated by the many ways we can change a 4 patch. This is so creative. Your explanations are very through. Thank you.
And, quilting as a hobby can be as expensive or as thrifty as you make it. These past 2 yrs I have made myself use only stash. It has pushed me to be more creative with colors and making scrap quilts. It’s been very enlightening and satisfying and inexpensive!
Anita, I try to use fabric from my stash but I admit that I easily fall in love with new fabric lines. :)
You're tutorial is so well done. THANK YOU. Love the different block patterns made from one simple concept. THANK YOU🦩
You are so welcome!
Configurations for various block sizes are excellent. Thank you for all your hard work & professional tutorial. Loved it, mesmerized my mind! 😮😮❤😊
Love your variations❤❤❤
Great video! Thank you!❤😊
My firs time creating a disappearing 9square. I’m a beginner and wanted to do this since I started yin September 23. Thank you for your suggestion. Awesome!
How awesome!! Such wonderful variations to such simple patches. Thank you......would like to see more!!!
Great tutorial on disappearing patch blocks…have to say I was cringing every time the cutter was laid down without closing!
Just a thought - maybe you could publish a book just on these patterns alone, providing 'how to" instructions, finished sizes, fabric choices, etc. I reckon it'd be a best seller, especially for those of us who are fairly new at this wonderful world of quilting. I'd be your first customer for the book and it's also something people can pass down to their families throughout their lives. It'd definitely be "a keeper"!
What an excellent tutorial - many thanks . Very clear and I love that you show how the blocks look when put together
Keep an eye on Joann's for their big coupons to buy equipment a bit at a time, and Walmart has good fabric cheaper than most, and some tools. I started with a pair of scissors and hand-stitching in my childhood, but slowly amassed a fantastic collection of tools.
My next quilt will be a disappearing block. They look like fun!
The 4patch as you demonstrated is the only one I like. But I REALLY like that one. Thanks.
I loved this video! I have done disappearing 9-patch before, but this opened my eyes to new variations. Have never done a disappearing 4-patch and I loved those variations too.
It’s been 2 years since you’ve made this video before I saw it. Thank you for this video, I love it! Now I just need to figure out fabric requirements to use these blocks in a quilt. ❤️
Just love the blocks
Awesome video!!!! Thank you!
Excellent, well organized, well prepared to show variations. I subscribed cause you’re a conscise speaker. Anxious to see more of your ideas. Someone should do a book of these block variations. You have a start with all your particall to fully sewn pieces. Giving the starting and finishing dementions is helpful. I suggest you photo document your blocks incase you later decide to make a pamphlet/booklet/book.
Thank you from an old quilter!
Great video !!!!
And yes, Teresa’s videos are great too !
TY 👍❤️
Thank you for such an informative video with so many variations! I am now more interested in quilting than ever before!
6:45 exactly what I was wondering and you showed your samples 👍👍👍 best presentation as I got to see so many samples, especially the diagonal cut. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you. Now I know the border I can do for my 9 patch disappearing block topper. What fun!
Love these! Thank you for such thorough instructions!
Thank you for the excellent demonstration. I have been fascinated with the nine and four patch blocks - disappearing. You showed me more possibilities. Kathleen in Canada.
I'm absolutely knocked out by this tutorial. You are an expert teacher and one of very few who have inspired and motivated me to try something new for a long time. I can't tell you how excited I am to start on each and every one of these variations. I've parried with the very first one and became so frustrated with the bulk when trying over and over again to line up the middle 2 x 1" strips with the 2" x 2" little squares, but if just persevered and persisted and I'm now happy with the finished block. The next one I'm going to tackle is the one which is cut diagonally. My ultimate intention is to produce all of the blocks, choose which ones I can use to repeat enough to make a KS quilt for my son in VA. Thankyou again (wish I knew your first name, though) for making my year! Suzie, Australia.
The best video I've seen on this 4 and 9 patch. Thank you.
Love what you did with the four and nine patches and half square ones. Was not too interested in this before, but am excited to try one now. Thank you. 😄
Just found your videos - I love the “disappearing” type blocks!! And I love my rotating mats. But years ago before the rotating mats were available, I,learned that I could put one of my smaller mats right on top of the big table one - cut and then rotate the smaller mat for the second cut. Those rotating mats are a bit pricey and this tip might help other quilters who,prefer not to spend money when they don’t have to.
You are an amazing teacher. I've never seen so many variations. I have taken 4 memory quilts for the same family and after watching this I think I'll use the different disappearing 4 or 9 patch for all of them. They'll all have the same fabrics but different looks. I especially like the one cut diagonal. Thank you so much.
I love your use of Tula Pink fabrics.
Taken slowly, they are magic. Seeing so many at one time is mind-blowing!
I just did a Disappearing four patch cut diagonally. I marked the two inches from the corner. I discovered that if line your ruler up from point to point it's exactly 1.5" from the center. I purchased a Stripology Ruler XL. Put my four patch under the ruler, lined up the points and made two cuts 1.5" from center and turned and did the other two cuts. In squaring up the blocks did the same thing. Much faster and much more to accurate. I used a layer cake, sewed down two sides, cut in the middle, laid the dark over the light and sewed on two sides that had the seams, cut down the middle and had two four patches. Made a very pretty design with light touching light. Would recommend using all one color way with a white background. My quilt didn't have the pop that I like so the same color squares will be made into table runners or other small projects and placemats and napkins and Cozy bowls. Great stash buster!
How much fun are these blocks?!! Really enjoyed your tutorial!!! I’ve made a couple of disappearing patch blocks & now, I must make another!!! Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely fascinating to a completely novice quilter just learning the ropes. Thankyou for such clear and detailed vision explanation. Am becoming more hooked on this new journey every day. 😅
Just found your RUclipss the other day when looking for disappearing 4 and 9 patches. I'm hooked. I had no idea how many ideas there were. Thank you!
Huge thank you - just what I needed, being a little hesitation to move them, then not getting the effect I was hoping for!
You're very welcome!
Wow! That's a great technique of disappearing the blocks. Will definitely try on my batik fabrics. Thank you very much for sharing. This makes my patchwork project so much interesting and easier! Love them❤
So beautiful in one video ,So many patterns I love it ❤
This a game changer for me. I’m brand new to quilting and learning abut the different ways to make these patterns is so exciting. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Fascinating! Thank you.

Such a wonderful video. My first visit with you. Your explanations were so sensible yet not down putting - can’t think of the word lol

Hi! This is very interesting. I just made a modified nine patch without using nine blocks, just four after watching sew be it quilts with Fallon. I will give it a go using your fun ideas. Take care. Dec. 31, 2023. Marion in Oregon
Hi! Just discovered your channel! Was looking for a refresher on 4-patch and 9-patch disappearing methods and this was perfect. Very nicely laid out and explained. Thank you. :D
Very interesting ways to make blocks. Its late and I just skimmed through this, thank you so much.
You're very welcome!
Thanks sweetie. This was great.
Thank you so much! I think I can learn from you as my mind gets confused. Your voice is gentle and you work nicely! Blessings and Joy! rosie
2nd comment. A request: how much yardage for different quilt sizes? Maybe you could mention that in your next videos. Thanks. Love the idea!
Just found your channel. Will be looking forward to more great lessons . Thank you
Well done. Thanks for the many variations.
This is the 1st time I have watched your channel. Thank you so much. I've made the 1st version from the 4 patch before, but I love your other two versions. I really like version 3 from the 8" squares, with the star forming in the middle. I will be making this version on my next two color quilt. Thanks for all the ideas in one tutorial.
yes I have and I love the nine patch the best!! I have not been subscribed but a week or so but so far I absolutely love your videos!! Thank you for your time for us!!
Exceptionally well done tutorial. Thank you.
Great video. Very helpful. Thank you
Thank you for being so descriptive on your video. It makes it so nice to understand. :)
I love this tutorial. Thank you so much!!!♥
You explained this so well. Thanks
Yep, or slide the small to medium mat around so you are not moving the fabric, that’s what i do 😊
I'm feeling really excited after watching this. Thank you from South East England.
I’m going to try these variations. You’ve made it look so easy, and the blocks appear very intricate.
I use a smaller mat on top of my larger one. You can then just turn the smaller one while cutting.
Hermoso trabajo.!!!
That was great.
I agree with the comment regarding price in quilting hobby. Beautiful.colors with your blocks and fabrics.
Great job. Looking forward to seeing more of your tutorials.
