Ages ago, Judy over at Virtual Quilter posted a challenge for EQ7 users. It was a simple challenge to use the basic nine patch block as a starting point then draw straight lines to create new blocks. She had amazing results, and I had a good time playing along too.
I started with line drawings, but quickly had to add color...here's some of the favorites that I came up with by just adding straight lines to a nine patch:
Ohhhh, I love it! This is going into my inspiration file and I just might take the plunge and make one of these one day!

This last one really got me going. I was trying to figure out in my head how I could possibly make this block - maybe paper piecing? Then, I started to wonder what it would look like in a quilt where it was repeated...would a secondary design emerge?
