working with the same check groundcloth from the previous post, i was inspired by a comment by eva *** to cut out the hidden nine patch motif and actually piece/integrate it into a nine patch block. the center piece is made by alternating 9 square cutouts with solid natural linen. i cut larger sections of the check ( 9x9 squares) as another play on the number nine. so i would say this is a very nine patch. 6.5" square. cotton and linen. hand pieced.
*** eva does a lot of interesting pattern/color play which you can see on her blog.
