Snappy nine patches

I saw Jill's post about her friend Dorothy's Snappy 9-patches

and I took a few minutes over lunch to try this speed technique.

Basically, you start with two contrasting squares and sew them together on opposite sides,

and then cut, sew, sew and trim and sew.

I used 3 inch squares instead of 9 inches, but any squares easily divisible by three works.

My blocks finish at 1.5 inches, and they are more accurate in real life than they look in the photo.

I'm linking up to the Needle and Thread Network WIP Wednesday.
