1941 nine patch

A nine patch star block which where side squares of the nine patch are replaced by flying geese and rectangles

(See page on how to make your chosen quilt block any size you like.)

Ok so how do you draft this out.  Start with the nine patch grid

Divide the side squares into rectangles.

Add flying geese instead of the outside rectangles.

Quilters Cache gives instructions and a suggested layout here 

Of course although this is shown at the top as a single colour star each of the units could be a different colour....

As a variation the centre square seems ripe for changing to something pieced
e.g. a four patch
