Phyllis' block


This is Phyllis' block for 2012 Block Exchange. It's a 9-patch variation.
Here are the instructions she gave:
You'll need 18 different fabrics, but because they can be any color, print, texture, mood, period, etc. 
Only value matters in this block. Each of the 9 squares is cut 2.5 inches and is bordered by a cut 1.5 inch strip of the opposite value. The rectangles are sewn to the square courthouse-steps style. 
Make four dark and five light center squares or vice versa. Squares should measure 4.5 inches. 
If you think the 9 blocks make a great cohesive 12 inch block, sew them together. 
If you want to send Phyllis the 9 individual squares, that's okay too.

Mail Phyllis' blocks to her at:
1035 Redberry
Nipomo, CA 93444

Oh, I just saw that Eileen did include my address. So, my phone is (818) 983-1930.
One more comment on the construction of my block: when sewing the 9 little squares together, rotate them so that the sides with the seams always meet the sides without seams.
Thanks,
Phyllis
