overlapped 9-patch, top completed

 
Overlapped 9-patch
97 1/2 by 82 1/2 inches

143 blocks set into 13 rows of 11 blocks each
Block finishes 7 1/2 inches

Block directions can be found here:

At the end of block construction, all vertical seams are in the same direction.
Lay out 11 blocks and sew together, keeping the seams in same direction and pressing the joining seams in that direction too.
Make 13 rows.
Keep all odd rows with seams pressed to the left, flip the even rows over so the seams are directed to the right.
Every seam will nest.
I usually dislike sewing long rows in a quilt, but this was not difficult--only two seams to nest in each block, and then the between block seams also nested.

I really like how this quilt turned out! 
The solid squares between the blocks look like tabs holding them together.

My design, use at your pleasure.
