"It should have worked. I had saved my favorite orange fabric color for the Halloween month. I waited with hopefulness that the block given to us would be something I could make spooky. A nine-patch! Perfect for a pumpkin patch! And boy, could I make THAT Halloweeny!! Nine-patches for the sky? Nope, did that before. For the scarecrow? Nine-PATCHes on his coat? Nope, didn't work, nor would they work on his hat. For the pumpkins?
Made them two different ways. The faces just wouldn't show up on them. Couldn't use the patches for the ground....I'd already made my path and I wasn't going through that again! (Don't ask.) So to make a long story endless, I found a spot for my nine-patch. Don't feel sorry for him, he was way too difficult to work with!"
