SCRAPBUSTER!

If you have made the Shaded 4-Patch block, you know how much fun and how versatile  that block is.  Just imagine the design possibilities with a Shaded 9-Patch unit!

The Shaded 9-Patch can be described as a 9-Patch block cut in half diagonally. But to  create this block, there is no cutting of triangles and there is no piecing of triangles.  All  the piecing is done with strips and rectangles, creating oversized blocks which are then trimmed down to make them perfect.  Six Fat Quarters and a Background fabric will create all kinds of scrappiness for this easy star design.

The Tucker Trimmer 1™ Tool is required for this pattern, and is available below.
