| Begin with two 12 inch squares in contrasting fabric. |
 |
| Place one square on top of the other, both pieces of fabric must be right side up (not right sides together as we normally do). |
 |
| Take your ruler and make two random vertical cuts. Then make two random horizontal cuts. |
 |
| Switch the bottom fabric on four squares as shown in the photo - this is your wonky nine-patch. |
 |
| Sew pieces together as you would for a normal nine-patch block, making sure to press your seam toward the darker fabric. |
 |
| When you are done, you will have two wonky nine-patch blocks. |
 |
| Take the time to square up your blocks. I trimmed these blocks down to 10 3/4 inches. |
 |
| Find the center of your block - in this case it was 5 3/8 inches - and make a vertical and then a horizontal cut. |
 |
| You now have four smaller blocks. Take your upper right hand block and turn twice to the right - your small corner square will now be in the upper right side. Take your lower left hand block and turn twice to the right - your small corner square will now be in the lower left side. |
 |
| Sew your four small blocks together and you now have your first wonky disappearing nine-patch block! |
 |
| Here's a sneak peak at the quilt I'm making...I should have the top done for next week's WIP Wednesday! |
