It’s hard to believe that we’re just three 30” block layouts away from completing a fabulous fun #scrappycrownalong quilt! I hope you’ve been enjoying playing with your scraps as much as I am. One thing I love about doing these blocks is the fun I have in putting three random fabrics together and seeing how they look when sewn into a block! Now let’s get to it – let’s check out layout 10! Nine Patch Tutorial Before we get to the layout – let’s check another alternative block option for the 5” Crown of Thorns block – a nine patch.

This is what my Layout 9 looks like. 
And here’s what my Layout 10 looks like. 
And finally – here’s what my blocks look like all laid out so far! How cool is this!? Please use #scrappycrownalong to share your photo’s!
