Nine-Patch Revolution Class Plan

Starburst Quilt

From Nine-Patch Revolution by Jenifer Dick and Angela Walters

Class Description: This baby quilt is a fun, unique quilt that will stretch the confident beginner and delight the more experienced quilter. Each block has four identical paper-pieced sections that are sewn with a 3” nine-patch in the center. The block is then put together with partial seams. The nine-patch in the center of each block anchors the dizzying, mesmerizing optical illusion once all six blocks are joined together.

• Skill level: Confident beginner through experienced quilter.
• Methods learned: Simple straight-line paper piecing, partial seam piecing, managing bulk at intersections, and sharp points and how to quilt them.
• What students walk away with: All students should finish at least one block in class and leave with the confidence to finish the project at home.
• What makes this class fun: Creating a unique block that looks harder than it actually is—the WOW factor is undeniable!
