"Off the Grid" Sliced Nine Patch Quilt. I'm so excited to be back for my second Moda Bake Shop tutorial! This time I'll share a quick and easy quilt pattern featuring my variation on the classic 9-patch block. Finishing out at approximately 50" square, this quilt would make a great lap quilt, baby quilt, or dorm room quilt to send off to your favorite college student. If you're inspired, maybe you can even whip one up this week for your Valentine! 2 charm packs (Note: you will need a total of 81 charm squares. My two charm packs of MoMo's "Wonderland" line only yielded 80 squares, so I cut my final square from my backing fabric.) 1 honey bun of the same line 3 yards of a coordinating backing fabric 1 yard of a coordinating binding fabric Step 1: Separate out your charm squares into nine groups of 9. NOTE: all of the squares will be cut down further in later steps except for the center square of each 9-patch.

Step 2: Sew your first group of 9 squares into a 9-patch block. Step 3: Select one of your 9-patch blocks. Step 6: Stacked Coins Baby Quilt. 2 charm packs-Soiree by Lila Tueller 1 1/2 yards white fabric for sashing/borders 1/2 yard fabric for binding 1 1/2 yards of fabric for backing batting that measures 44″ x 55″ quilting thread please note: 1/4″ seams are used throughout this project. Cut each charm in half. This will yield 144 “coins”. Each will measure 2.5″ x 5″. (You will use all but 12 coins for this quilt.) Sew coins together. Make 5 strips of coins. Cut 6 pieces of white fabric 3.5″ wide x 44 1/2″ long for the sashing. If your seam allowances aren’t completely accurate, you may want to measure the length of your patchwork strips and cut the sashing to match.

Sew sashing to the coin strips. Cut 2 pieces 3.5″ x 41″ for the top and bottom of the quilt. Sew together and press well. Your quilt top is done! For the back… I love adding a patchwork detail to the back of my quilts. Join 22 coins together and press. From the backing fabric, cut one piece 36″ x width of fabric. Layout as shown and sew together. Enjoy! Hopscotch Quilt - Make a Baby Quilt or Toddler Quilt.

The layout shown is one option for the blocks -- you'll find another on page 3.

There are no triangles in this quilt, and that means you'll work with patches cut along the fabric's sturdier straight grains. The quilt shown is monochromatic -- sewn in all blues.
