    Nine Patch Mini Quilt Tutorial

    Last Modified: April 25, 2023 by Amy · This post may contain affiliate links · This blog generates income via ads · 303 Comments

    This mini quilt is perfect for using precuts – 5″ or 2 ½″ squares – to make a scrappy patchwork table topper. Or pull out some of your favorite leftover red and pink scraps for a similar look.

    I received a cute little Valentines charm pack from my friend Melissa of Happy Quilting.  As I thought about what I would like to make with it, I decided to replicate this little mini-quilt/table-topper that I made last fall. I loved having a little zing of color on my normally ‘blah’ boring kitchen table.

    Nine Patch Mini Quilt Tutorial

    Thanks to the generosity of the Fat Quarter Shop I was able to make a festive Valentines mini to festoon my kitchen table for February. (Try saying that 5 times fast.)  And today I’ll share how I did it. Pretty simple – definitely not rocket science, but it’s always nice when someone else does the figuring, right?

    In addition to the Charm Pack I used ¼ yard of sashing fabric, ¼ yard for binding and ⅔ yard for backing. You will only need 21 squares for the pieced blocks, which means a couple of things: 1) you could make another set of blocks=another mini quilt for a friend or 2) you could use your leftover squares to piece a back or as a scrappy binding. So many options. (You could also substitute a mini 2 ½″ charm pack.)

    1. Take 21 of your 5″ charm squares and cut them into quarters = (4) 2½” squares.

     2. Mix-up the 2½” squares and lay them out into 9 sets of 9 squares.  Sew each set of squares into 3 rows of 3 squares each using a scant ¼” seam allowance.

     3. Press the seams toward the outside on the top and bottom row. Press the seams toward the inside square on the middle row. This will help in matching up all those little square points.

     4.  Sew 9-patch rows together. Seams pressed to opposite sides will butt up against each other, matching the square points at the corners.

    6. Press from the front.  Here is what the pressed back will look like.  Make 8 more blocks using the same method.

     7.  From sashing fabric cut 5 strips 1¾” wide x the width of the fabric. From one of those strips, sub cut into (6) 1¾” x 6½” pieces.  Sew strips between the 3 sets of 3 nine-patch blocks.  Press seams toward the sashing strips.

     8.  From 2 of the remaining sashing strips carefully cut (2) 1¾” x 21″ sashing strips. (If you cut carefully, you should be able to get (2) 21″ strips out of a 1¾” x width-of-fabric strip.)  Cutting the sashing to the correct size, rather than just sewing it on and trimming the end, will help your mini quilt stay square. Pin the strips to the the sets of 3 blocks.  Find the center of your strip (10½”) and the center of your set of blocks. Pin at the center point and then pin at either end of the strip/set of blocks.  Then evenly space the rest of the pins along the edge to be sewn. (If you need help visualizing this technique, go here and scroll down to the part about pinning.)

     9. Sew sashing strips as shown at the top and bottom and between the three rows.  Press toward the sashing.

    10. From your remaining sashing strips cut (2) 1¾” x 23½” strips for the final borders on the quilt. Use the same method as above for pinning on the strips before sewing to help keep your quilt square.  Sew using ¼” seam allowance. Press seams toward the sashing strips

    11.  After carefully pressing quilt top and backing fabric (use at least a 25″ square piece of backing”) pin-baste the back, batting, and quilt top together.  (For more on quilt basting go here.)

    12.  I chose to machine quilt my mini and I used this binding method.

    And there you have a quick little mini.  I love how the simplicity of this quilt shows off the fabrics. It’s a quick project and using a charm pack is a simple way to get a variety of prints.

    It would be very simple to make a larger version. To make  4 blocks by 4 blocks using a single Charm pack as well.  You would need 36 charms for 16 finished blocks, ⅝ yard sashing, ¼ yard binding and a yard for backing.

    Thanks again to Melissa for inspiring me to make something fun and thanks to those of you who stopped by. Happy Hearts to you.

      I love the &quot;Simply Charmed&quot; feature! It is so wonderful to see what can be made with a smaller amount of fabric. Thanks for the wonderful tutorial. Reese&#39;s Cup Eggs would have to be my favorite Valentine&#39;s treat. It is hard to improve on the original, but something about the eggs and the trees is just a notch above 🙂

      GREAT tutorial!! Such a cute mini!!<br /><br />My favorite Valentines treat (and don&#39;t laugh!) are Wendy&#39;s frosties with french fries. My hubby and I made this our V day tradition when we were poor starving college kids. It makes me smile.<br /><br />Conversation hearts are a close second, though… 🙂

      The only thing I like better than Chocolate at V-day is Strawberry Tarts. Maybe I&#39;ll have to drizzle some chocolate over them this year…just for fun. Thank you for the Tutorial. 9-patch cutie!

      Thanks for the fun tute. Valentines is fun because it brings red and pinks into the boring after Christmas blags.Unfortunately, almost any chocolate is my favorite, and pretty much any time. My palate is not discriminating at all. I try to enjoy the holiday and I love the excitement in the air, I just try to ignore the food clues.

      I love this – so simple and cute! I definitely need more Valentine&#39;s Day decorations and this would be perfect for my end table. Thanks for sharing (as you rightly point out, it&#39;s always much easier when it&#39;s someone else who does the figuring!).

      Oh, this mini is destined to be a classic! In blues and whites, it is perfect for a snowy winter day. In green and whites, it is perfect for St. Patrick&#39;s Day! Good design, and your directions are clear and complete.

        Thank you so much for the great idea. I think I need to make that one and practice my free motion quilting! My favorite chocolate, for Valentines or any other time, is Lindt truffles, especially dark chocolate – yum!

I make these every year for the girls and we pick them up for a lunch at Red Lobster with Mom and Dad, we take them flowers and these strawberries and little heart boxes of chocolates for their children.

      What a cute little table topper! I love it. I do have a question though:<br /><br />You said &quot; Cutting the sashing to the correct size, rather than just sewing it on and trimming the end, will help your mini quilt stay square.&quot; This was an ah-ha moment for me as I have always just cut the sashing a little bit longer and then trimmed it off. I&#39;m just wondering if you could explain

      Cool — and I learned something new today…glad you linked to your post about adding borders. I&#39;m a new quilter and didn&#39;t know that good borders can help keep your quilt square and flat!

      My favorite used to be the Milky Way&#39;s with just caramel that came out only on Valentine&#39;s day. It&#39;s a good thing they stopped selling them cause I could eat the whole bag by myself. Of course now they sell them by the bars now. :0

      Can you tell me how much fabric I&#39;d need to make a lap quilt like this? I really love the pattern, trying to figure out how much fabric I need, just a beginner quilter. Thank you.

      I know you posted this almost 2 years ago, but I just wanted to say that I&#39;ve been following your blog for a few months, and used this tutorial to make my first ever quilt! Thanks so much for posting such a fabulous tutorial (and your binding tutorial also!). I linked back to you from my blog!<br /><br />Lorraine at sassycraftyfit.com
