Ohio Star
A nine-patch star: plain corners, a centre square, and quarter-square-triangle side units whose triangles form eight points.
Birds in the Air
Half the block is one large triangle; the other half is a stair-step of six small triangles, all pointing the same way like a flock in flight.
Card Trick
Four fabrics form four square cards turned on point that overlap in a pinwheel around the centre, built from half-square-triangle corners, three-piece side units and a four-colour quarter-square-triangle centre.
Churn Dash
A nine patch with half-square-triangle corners and two-strip side units, the dark halves turned toward a light centre square so they form a square frame with pointed corners.
Double Nine Patch
A nine patch whose corner and centre squares are themselves small nine patches, alternating with four large plain squares.
Fifty-Four Forty or Fight
Four patches in the corners and centre with long, narrow star points on each side: the points sit on the centre four patch and reach out to the edge of the block.
Friendship Star
A nine patch with plain corners, a centre square, and four half-square-triangle side units turned the same way round so the star points spin like a pinwheel.
Jacob's Ladder
Four patches in the corners and centre, all turned the same way so their dark squares make a diagonal chain, with half-square triangles on the sides whose seams run parallel to the chain.
Maple Leaf
A leaf on the diagonal of a nine patch: three solid leaf squares, four half-square-triangle points along the top and left, a plain background corner, and a narrow diagonal stem in the opposite corner.
Nine Patch
Nine equal squares in three rows, alternating dark and light so the dark squares sit in the corners and the centre.
Rolling Stone
A nine patch with square-in-a-square corners, two-strip side units and a plain centre; the on-point corner squares and outer strips form a light ring around a dark cross.
Shoofly
A nine patch with half-square-triangle corners whose dark halves point in to a dark centre square, making a dark X on light side squares.
Snowball
A large square with a triangle cut from each corner, each triangle one third of the side, so the square reads as an octagon; set side by side the corners meet as small diamonds.
Split Nine Patch
A nine patch split corner to corner: three half-square triangles run along one diagonal, with light squares on one side and dark squares on the other.
