Anyone up for a challenge? A Teeny Tiny Nine Patch Challenge? I know you have plenty of scraps in your bin, just like I do. And they're just sitting there, waiting for you to make something spectacular. Here's your chance to use some of those tasty tidbits!These nine patches start with two contrasting 3 inch squares. Yes, you only need two 3 inch squares. And you'll end up with TWO teeny tiny nine patches! Each nine patch will be only 1 1/2 inches finished. I know what you're thinking: WHOA BABY! THAT'S REALLY TINY !!
Don't worry - I'll teach you an easy way to do this without working with itty bitty squares. Remember, I'm not a good piecer, so if I can do it, you can, too.
My goal is to make one set (two nine patches) per day. It will only take minutes, and over time I should have a mighty pile of Teeny Tiny Nine Patches.
What to make with them? That's up to you! Won't it be fun to see the various projects they turn up in - quilts, purses, place mats, who knows?
Are you in? Leave a comment here if you want to play along. I'll set up a separate site so we can all share our progress and photos. No deadlines involved - this is all for fun!

I must be nuts. I have way too much on my plate right now but I'd love to do some little 9 patches. I think I know the method but want to learn to do it better
Would love to learn how to make tiny 9 patches!
Wow! Those are tiny I would love to play along! :)~
I have been following your blog for a couple of months. I am a neighbor, down in Alabaster. I would also like to participate. I have been wanting to try this for some time now. Thanks.
Also overloaded but want to play - count me in! Do you think I can quilt treathers small enough for these blocks? I need to dress up a cradle for my mother's porcelain dolls - this looks like just the thing.
Always willing to learn interesting/different skill. Sounds like fun.
Are you bringing examples to our "Bee" this Thursday?? Sounds like fun. I'll give it a try too.
Sounds like fun, but way too busy right now.
Is it too late? I'd like to join in!
