Second Set for Breaking Apart

Here's another set of nine patch squares from my four fat quarters. This selection is holding together better, and I think it matters what the fabrics have in them. Definitely need one very different and two that are similar. 
 

Nine Patch From the Blob

I got nine squares from my blob, and just about nothing left over. I've spun these blocks every which way, but still think they're not the best. I blame the fabric choice. Still better than the blob. Stay tuned.
 

Looking at Old

For today's quilt group critique, a friend brought us an young/old quilt to look at. The red squares in this nine patch block unified the work, and the adjacent to the center blocks were mainly dark. So, there is some pattern to decipher. Bits of polyester with cotton make the fabric choices.
