Making the disappearing 9 patch blocks

Thought I would share how I've been doing these blocks, seems to be going along quickly.

I stitched 3 different strip sets of 3 strips each, each strip 4" wide. Dark, light, dark; dark, red, light; and light, dark, light.









I cut the strip sets into 4" sections.










I did this with all 3 strip sets.






stitch one of each into a block (the center, my red here, will become the lil squares when done)







Cut the block thru the center both vertically and horizontally.





Turn the upper right and lower left pieces as shown. Stitch everything back together and ur done =)
