Week 2: Twice As Much Fun

ByGnomeAngel

Week 2 of the 9 Patch Parade for March starts today and this month we’re working with the “Twice As Much Fun” Pattern by Marti Michell. This pattern is included in the 9 Patch Starter Kit and will be the basis for your entries in this month’s prize pool.

What to do this week in the Parade

Task: Start to sew your project.

This pattern is super simple and a great warm up for the next 6 months of nine patch fun. You can use this pattern to inspire your nine patch project.

Nine Patch Ruler Tutorial Video

I made a little video for those of you wanting to see the ruler in action. It’s my first real video tutorial and I hope you like it!

What I’m doing this week in the Parade

I’ve picked my fabrics (all Alison Glass) and I’ve started working on getting my project together. I’m also doing up a tutorial on the Twice As Nice Table Runner to help those of you wanting to make one.

Coming Up in the Parade

In Week 3 I’ll share the tutorial and a sneak peek at my finished project. Woot! Woot!

I can’t wait to see how your projects are coming along! Be sure to use the hashtag #FMM9PatchParade when sharing your work on Instagram and post your Week 2 photos to the Facebook Group Photo Album.
