Disappearing Nine-Patch

For quite a while, I cut various sizes of blocks from left-over fabric - Now I have a use for some of them.  This scrappy quilt was made by sewing five-inch blocks, alternating darks and lights, and using a dark navy for the middle.  Then, by cutting down the middle of the finished block, both horizontally and vertically, and manipulating the cut blocks in a uniform way, I ended up with this little quilt.  Lots of fun and fast!  The disappearing block has taken over.  There are disappearing 4-patch, hour-glass, and pinwheel blocks.  Someone got very inventive and tired of the same old thing - why not play by sewing simple basic blocks, and then cutting them out again.  Never know what one might end up with!
