This makes a 9" block ! ** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** Cutting Instructions for one block: Color 1: 3-1/2" x 14" strip Subcut strip into four 3-1/2" squares. 1-1/2" x 7-1/2" strip Subcut strip into two 1-1/2" x 3" rectangles and one 1-1/2" square. Color 2 3-1/2" x 14" strip Subcut strip into four 3-1/2" squares. 1-1/2" x 6" strip Subcut strip into one 1-1/2" x 3" rectangle and two 1-1/2" squares Sew the longer rectangles together along one long edge (as shown at left) in a scant 1/4" seam, pressing seams to the darker sides. Cut this apart at the 1-1/2" point to make two pieced units. Sew the 1-1/2" squares together as well, again using a scant 1/4" seam allowance and pressing to the dark sides. Sew these units all together to make a nine patch unit.   Now lay out all units as shown at left. Sew three horizontal rows, pressing to the dark. Join the rows to finish off your Dutch Nine Patch block! Here are four blocks by five with pieced and plain borders! This quilt, when finished, has a really neat secondary pattern!!   For more patterns, visit Quilters Cache and see what else you can make!!
