All the designs can be made with the traditional nine-patch block, one of the first and easiest blocks that novice quilters master. By following the color and placement charts using nine patches of varying sizes, quilters can take a pixelated approach to create their own unique novelty quilts.

Depending on the fabric a quilter chooses, these charted designs can take on a modern spin or a traditional one.
