This wallhanging was made with 6-inch split nine patch blocks, the same blocks used in Carolina Byways, but with an entirely different look. For this quilt, I chose fabrics that are reminiscent of 19th century prints and colors.

Split Nine Patch Quilt
The split nine patch block can be used to create numerous quilt layouts. You can use it in the same way you use a log cabin block to create angled edges.
