Jumbled quilt
When I was designing my Twirligig quilt I made a few blocks that would not work for that quilt. That quilt needed contrast between the fabrics to make the pattern stand out which the rejected blocks did not have. So, I decided to make a few more of the rejected disappearing 9 patch blocks and came up with Jumbled. Though it may look complicated at first glance, it is super easy.
I used the same Kaffe Fassett fabrics, the same 9 patch block construction and cutting method as Twirligig and came up with a totally different quilt. I just changed how I arranged the 4 parts of the disappearing nine patch after I cut each block. I did not sew the 4 pieces of each block back together to form the traditional disappearing nine patch block. Instead, I used each of the parts as it's own block in my Jumbled quilt. So, the nine patch actually became 4 new blocks. The blocks are arranged in an alternating pattern which I think makes a great scrap quilt!
