Nine Patch In Progress!

 

 

Here the Color 2  4-1/2" x 18" strip has been cut into four 4-1/2" squares, and the the Color 1  4-1/2" x 22-1/2" strip into five 4-1/2" squares... 

 

Lay them out as they will appear in your block...

Start sewing together the squares...

 

Here you see the back of the rows when the horizontal rows have been sewn, with seams pressed to the dark sides....

 

Lastly....here is the back again once the horizontal rows have been sewn together...One perfect Nine Patch!...and thanks to Ruthie for the great photo shoot of this block being made!
...and here's Ruthie's completed Nine Patch!
