Farmhouse Florals Pattern: Nested 9-Patch
Introducing the Nested 9-Patch Quilt Pattern. This six foot square design features at total of only 13 quilt blocks. Settting the blocks on-point maximizes the size and your sewing time! The pattern will walk you through Nancy’s fast technique of creating fabric strata and subcutting fabric strips to create two alternating block styles. We think you’ll enjoy the results when you stitch the Nested 9-Patch Quilt Pattern.
The quilt design features yardage from Nancy’s fabric line, Farmhouse Florals by Penny Rose Fabrics, a division of Riley Blake Designs. Make the quilt using Farmhouse Florals or sew the design in your favorite light, medium, and dark fabric values.
Quick Piecing Techniques
Team Nancy Zieman will always share construction methods to sew or quilt in the absolute easiest way possible. This Nested 9-Patch Quilt is no exception. Learn how to create a 9-patch block by sewing strips of fabric together, then cutting those strips to the needed sizes. The nesting happens when we apply the same technique to wrap the first 9-patch center. See below.
The Blocks
Nested 9-Patch Quilt features two different block variations. The blocks are identical in dimension and construction. Both variations showcase a feature fabric in the center of the design. For that reason, this pattern is perfect to mix in larger scale prints, like the flower collections in Farmhouse Florals.
- Block A
- Block B
Nested 9-Patch Setting
By alternating blocks and setting them on-point, or diagonally, the quilt creates a much more dynamic design. Setting triangles cut from smaller prints and thin yet bold Red Shiplap fabric help pop the blocks in place visually. Once the narrow red border is added, the quilt top is complete.

I don’t have a go to color combination — I pick what fills my mood at the time.
Yolanda Cypher
I enjoy working with florals & batiks.
Martha
I have two which seam to dominate my shelf and work: blacks-whites and browns-blues. Viewing another snowstorm out my window, it is time for me to “think spring” and switch to sewing some pretty florals like these!
Margaret
My go-to favourite colours are all shades of blue with yellow sprinkled in! Think bluebells and buttercups …
Blueberry Mary Kubenik
I love green and yellow. Don’t know if those are “correct”, but I do what pleases my eye AND quilting soul.

I am always drawn to bright jewel tones with Black thrown in for dimension. But I love this new line of Farmhouse colors!

Lately, anything with yellows! The brighter, the better!
Florence Dupuis
Lately it has been blue. Blue, yellow white and black. Also red, white and blue.
Beverly
My favorite go-to colors are fall colors. I also love reproduction/Civil War fabrics which are mostly, to me, fall colors. I find them homey and comforting. My next choice would be French colors- blues, yellows, pinks and shades of these. In actuality, I’ve rarely found a fabric/color that I do not like…..thus the ever-growing STASH!
Birdie Cade
Love blue & yellow combinations
Lowellene Jackson
I love any color that is a jewel tone. I am partial to small floral prints and love the farmhouse florals that Nancy has designed. Since I’m a relatively a beginner of quilting, I appreciate the Sew With Nancy program on our PBS station. Thank you for helping a garment sewer add to her repertoire.

When I think of my fabric I envision more shades of blue but red comes in a close second. They work perfect for Patriotic quilts which I have an obsession with.
Kathryn Englebretsen
I love blue and white and green. I would love to use the Farmhouse collection.
Laurie Devers
I don’t really have a go to quilting color combination. There are many factors that go into my choice of colors, including who I am making the quilt for, colors of each season of the year, floral prints, holidays, and even what mood I happen to be in. A beautiful piece of fabric is usually what inspires the colors in my quilts.
Glenda marsh
I love black/white with a pop of red or neon green thrown in. Can be very dramatic
