Leavenworth Nine Patch

This block makes absolutely no sense to me at all.  You know me and my 9-patches, and I am just not seeing it here.  Oh well, I am not going to dwell on it tonight. :)


This is number 332 of 366 and it is a 10-1/2 inch block.  I sat and cried at the sewing machine tonight as I pieced this block..have you ever done that?  I think it is a good thing I had this to work on as I needed somewhere to go to cry it all out.  We found out my son has a broken arm today, and I am not as upset about that as I am that he broke it a week ago.  He never complained that it hurt and he never said anything until last night.  He gets a cast tomorrow and it should be interesting to see what color he comes home with.  He thought maybe a candy cane cast would be good for this time of year.  Happy Stitching!!  --Kristen

It is an unusual block, I find it hard to see the pattern too. I'm sorry to hear about your son, it is obviously a worry for you. I hope he heals well, hugs Wendy

Yep the block is unusual.

Guess it is a blessing that the broken bone didn't hurt.. this will be the Christmas in a cast memory some day.

Our 2 year old cried when I would put on and pull off his boots. After 3 days we finally took him to the doctor. oh yeah, he had a broken foot! But the doc said the boot had acted like a cast so nothing was displaced. He got a walking cast and I still feel guilty.
