new album - a nine patch

The new album is a nine patch block.  To draft this block first start with a nine patch grid.


For central square join the centre of the top side to the centre of right hand side. In practice this is formed by snowballing the corner of a larger square.

Do the same with the opposite corner from left hand side to bottom side.

For each of the corner squares divide in half horizontally and vertically to make a 2x2 four patch in each corner.  Rub out two of the lines to leave just the corner closest to the middle square.
Finally add the half square triangles in the four corner squares by drawing lines diagonally edge to edge.


Here is a video from Fabric Junction on how to construct the new album block
