For each of the weeks 4 – 7 we will be assembling five quilt blocks each week to make a total of twenty blocks. The blocks should come together fairly quickly since you have done some of the block prep work in the last two weeks.
In this post, I am including some tips for how to perfectly square up your blocks.
The Quilt Along will be taking place on Instagram. At the end of each week I will announce that week’s winner. To enter you will post a photo sharing your progress with that weeks prompt. To enter the giveaway just use the hashtag #butterscotchqal so I can find all your lovely progress.
Using your 12.5″ square ruler, place it on the block so that the right and top sides have 1/4″ seam allowance. You will want to place the ruler so that the points of the color blocks are aligned with marks 1/4″ away from the edge of the ruler, as shown by the red line.
The blue line is placed on the 11.5″ line. You will want to make sure that the left and bottom edges of the block falls on or below this line. If it is above the blue line, your block will be too small.
Additionally the diagonal line of the ruler should run from the upper right hand corner, through the center of the two tone, and nine patch blocks, down to the lower left hand corner.
Turn your block 180 degrees and line up the ruler so that the color points on the top and right sides line up with the markings 1/4″ from the edge of the ruler, where the red line is shown. You may have a little extra on the left side of the block as I did in the photo above, where the block extends past the 11.5″ line. Squaring it up one more time will fix this.
Turn the block 180 degrees one more time. Line up the left and bottom sides with the 11.5″ lines on the ruler, shown by the blue line. Then once again line up the color points on the top and right with markings 1/4″ from the ruler edge on the right side, as shown by the red line.
Your block should be 11.5″ square now, with 1/4″ seam allowance between the color points and edge on all sides. The blocks are now ready to add the sashing to.
This week we will be making the two tone color block squares and adding the triangle to the top of it. If you are making the throw size you will be making 10 different two tone block sets and adding the triangle tops to each of them.
Next week we will finally start piecing our blocks together.
The Quilt Along will be taking place on Instagram. At the end of each week I will announce that week’s winner. To enter you will post a photo sharing your progress with that weeks prompt. To enter the giveaway just use the hashtag #butterscotchqal so I can find all your lovely progress.
In week one you will have cut and labeled your strips. Organize them into sets of C1 and C2 for each palette. That way they are in the pairs that are needed to make each block.
If you pin the label in the center of the block on the selvage edge (or just the end of the strip if there is no selvage), you should be able to sew the strips together without needing to remove the pins and labels. If you find you do need to remove the pin, just place it back after you have sewn it together. This will help you stay organized when cutting later on.
Then you will strip piece C1 and C2 for each block. Gently finger press the seam allowance toward darker side of the strips. Then press with the iron to set.
When subcutting the color block squares be sure to reattach the label to the top square of each color set to keep track of which palette number it is. Stack them in palette order 1 -10.
Fold the two tone block in half (perpendicular to seam) and finger press to make a line in the fabric. This line will allow you to make sure that the triangle top is centered in the middle of the color block. When placing the triangle on the block, line up the center point of the triangle with the vertical finger pressed line. Then pin in place so it doesn’t slip.

What is a Nine Patch Block?
A nine patch block is one of the basic quilt blocks. It is a beginner friendly quilt block that joins nine smaller squares to become one larger block, usually resulting in a repeating pattern using light and dark squares. Although it can be composed of other blocks such as half square triangles and four patch blocks and does not necessarily form a repeating or symmetrical pattern.
Nine patch blocks are usually made with light and dark contrasting colors. Block A is sometimes known as a positive block, while reversing the placement of light and dark colors will make Block B or a negative 9 patch.

To make a 9 patch block using single squares or scrap pieces follow the directions below. You will piece each row a square at a time and then join the rows together to form a 9 patch block.

Once the rows are formed you will cut them into smaller strips and then join these strips together to form the nine patch block.

How to Iron a Nine Patch Block
Pressing the nine patch block is an important step to help the strips sit together nicely. On Block A press the seams inward toward the middle strip. On Block B press the seams outward toward the top and bottom strips.
The rows will now have the seams facing in the opposite directions. The outer strips seams will be facing inward and the middle strip seams will face outward. When joined, the seams will “lock” in place so they can fit together and the seams will match.
How To Nest Seams for a Nine Patch Block
As you can see in the photo below the seams on the adjacent rows face the opposite directions. The stitch lines are still able to line up so when the rows are placed together you will have a perfectly joined seam.
To nest the seams, place the strips right sides together. The seams pressed in the opposite directions from one another will join together, as shown below, and will form a “lock” of sorts so that the blocks will not move or shift apart as easily and when sewn, the squares will line up perfectly. It also removes excess bulk.
If the seams allowance were both press the same direction, the seam would be much bulkier, and would be more likely to slip and shift out of place and the squares would not line up as nicely.
As you can see on the finished 9 patch block below, the stitch line travels straight across all the squares, while the seams on the outer and inner strips are pressed in the opposite directions, as shown in the first photo.
Press the vertical seams to one side to finish.
How to Square Up a Nine Patch Quilt Block
When sewing a nine patch block, it is important to start with a consistent seam allowance. I highly recommend using a scant 1/4″ seam allowance. If your seam is consistent there will be less squaring up that you will need to do.
Even with a consistent seam allowance I find that I still need to square up the nine patch block so that all side of the block are equal before I sew it to another block.
Since the middle square will be smaller than the other squares that have not been sewn yet, I find the easiest way to go about square up is to use a square ruler.
Center the diagonal line on the ruler down the diagonal of the nine patch. The line should travel from the corner of one block, through both corners of the middle block, to the outside corner of the last block.
Once you have achieved this, then look to the bottom and left edge to find the finished block dimensions. In this case, the block needs to be 4.25″. Once you have made sure that the block is at least the finished dimensions, then you able to trim the top and right sides.
Turn the block 180 degrees and repeat the steps above. You will now have a perfectly square block that is the correct size.
Nine Patch Block Sizes Chart
Nine Patch Block measurements can be calculated with an easy formula. You will need to add the seam allowance to come to the size needed.
To find the block size needed, follow the formula below:
To figure out what size block you will need to cut, first you need to know what the finished block size you need , then add 1.5″ for seam allowance, and then divide this number by the number of blocks you are using which is 3.
You can also use the chart below or print out the pdf by clicking the picture.
If you are going to use the strip piecing method, use the cut square size for the height and cut the strip the width of the fabric.
For a 1.5″ finished size block, cut three (3) 1″ x WOF strips and then subcut the pieced row into 1″ x 2″ strips.
Nine Patch Block Layouts
There are countless variations that can be made with the nine patch block. Some will work better using a strip piecing method than others. All of these can be made block by block and using scraps. Here are some great nine patch block variations to inspire you.

For the quilt along I will be making a bright and sunny citrus version of the butterscotch quilt. I’m ready to try my hand at using lots of orange which is something I never do.
Butterscotch Quilt Cutting + Organizing Tips
There are 30 different fabrics in the quilt, so it is easy to lose track of which color belongs where. Here are some tips to help you keep track of all your fabrics.
Print out the fabric labels below
Take a picture of all your fabrics in color order, even better add the labels and then take the picture. This will help you reference them should the label become detached or the fabrics become out of order.
In the photo above I placed the fabrics in order of C1 light, med, dark, C2 light, med, dark, C3 light, med, dark, etc. and attached the labels to the corner with pins.
Next I separated them into a stack of C1 light + med, C2 light + med, C3 light + med, etc and a stack of C3 since C3 will be cut a different size.
When cutting transfer the label on to the top strip of the color that has been cut. I kept each light and medium color together for each palette, so they are in the correct order and ready to be sewn together, As shown above.
Also transfer the label on the ends of the C3 strips to keep them organized as well.
