How many legs does a QI have? Well it depends. 2-legged (child, bird)
4 legged (dog, cat, horse)

Just kidding on the last one but I love horses and just thought I would
throw that one in there.
Cindy from MO

Answer: QI = Quilt Inspector (4-legged kind)
Hmm.. Never seen one of these. Must be my Godmom's dog that got
really big "barks" after she (dog) stepped once (it was still
a puppy then, about year old) my Godmom's fabrics. GM yelled the
dog, "never ever step on my fabrics again" and untill this day,
it never has!
How many pieces of fabric are in a nine patch block?
Answer: usually there's 9. If it's just plain nine patch. But sometimes
you can put lots more. I even noticed once a nine patch that had
only 5 pieces... Don't ask

Johanna
**************************

Answer: As many as it wants--either 2 or 4 at my place
Alternate Contest Question: How many pieces of fabric are in a nine patch
block?
Alternate answer: 42 (if it isn't 9)
Mary
******************************************
The canine, feline, equine, bovine and ovine types have 4.
The avian and human types have 2.
Do Polly's gators count? They have 4. But I don't know how well they count.
Alternate Contest Question: How many pieces of fabric are in a nine patch
block?

Yer basic, everyday type 9 patch has 9 pieces of fabric. Yer Sunday go to
Meetin' types have mo like Contrary Wife and Friendship Star, Calico
Puzzle, Shoo Fly (13); Twin Star (17); Variable Star, Indiana Puzzle (21);
Card Trick (24); Country Farm (28); Fifty-four Forty or Fight (32); Kansas
Star (45)...

COntest Question: How many legs does a QI have?

ANswer: 2 or 4......remember, some people have birds as QIs, and some
people simply refer to other human family members as their QIs...lol

of course, if it is an injured 4-legger, then the answer would be 3

Larisa

P.s. does anybody have a snake as a QI?? if so, then the answer would
be none!
*************************************
I know! I Know!

How many legs does a QI have?

However many I haven't cut off accidentally with my special sewing scissors.

Jeepers try typing that fast special sewing scissors...special sewing
scissors....well you get my drift!
Alternate Contest Question: How many pieces of fabric are in a nine patch
block?

9 of course! Unless you start making crazy nine patches in which case there
could be an infinite amount!

Ooooh the mind boggles
Sharon
*******************************
You are always welcome to give me credit for my answers and post them
wherever you like, except on a little sticky on my back.

Contest Question: How many legs does a QI have?

Hopefully, however many they are born with. Sometimes, they end up with
less through something icky happening. Sometimes, if they are good at
food swiping like a certain dog I know, they end up with more. The
average is probably close to 4.

Alternate Contest Question: How many pieces of fabric are in a nine
patch block?

Which technique are you using? If you layer two, sew on the 9-patch
seam, then cut one of the layers away to get the effect, you get a 9
patch with just 2 layers of fabric. And fuzzy seams to drive Polly Ester
nuts.

Or you can randomly piece the fabric, then cut and reform to make a
9-patch and end up with several more than 9.

Or if you are doing say a 9-patch of 9-patches, you can be driven mad
with the mathematical permutations.

Yet again, there are no easy answers. But hopefully, most folks will
tell you 9. But you should only pick out 2, unless you really like tehm
scrappy.

Hope this helps,
-georg
**********************************
How many legs does a QI have?

four, unless something ugly happened to the poor baby.... Thinking of a
three legged dog that I know that moves along as well as a four legged
one....



Alternate Contest Question: How many pieces of fabric are in a nine
patch
block?

nine usually. BEG I want to make a quilt like the front cover of the
Persian Pickle Club which is a nine patch of five nine patches and four
plain blocks. In purple! grin

Hugs,
Cappy

**********************************
I know MY QI has four legs! I would imagine most do but are we sure
a bantam hen wouldn't make a great QI?

And, a nine patch block has nine pieces of fabric! ;o)

Oh, this was fun!

Emilia

*************************************
Most have 4, some have 2, could have none if you've got a snake, or 10
should you have a squid.

Kathryn in Mi

****************************************
How many legs does a QI have?
Anywhere from zero to infinity. Could be a fish or even maybe a caterpillar
or a centipede, the latter not likely but entirely possible. LOL
Donna

***********************************
Contest Question: How many legs does a QI have?
Of the feathered type, hopefully two, although unfortunate accidents with
rotary cutters could eliminate one........sigh and of the fuzzy/furry
type, again here is hoping for four... unless one accidentally inspects to
closely to the brand new very sharp and shiny and did I mention sharp
scissors? Maybe even NONE!! I know my orange swimmer has no legs but
loves to watch me stitch anyways, even nods in approval once in a
while....... although feeding the little orange swimmer usually cures the
nodding problem
Alternate Contest Question: How many pieces of fabric are in a nine patch
block?

Tricky!!!!!!!! Could be from the obvious NINE to about umpteen dozen. I know
my 9-patch scrappies have many many bits of fabrics in them and NO I will
NOT count them all at this time thank you pffffffffffft
NrthrnLghtsLdy
**************************

How many legs does a QI have? As many as it needs to hold it up. Some of
them have 2 legs and 2 wings. Lots have 4 legs. And AFAIK, Henriette the
large black house spider who lives in the laundry room drain may moonlight
as a QI. In which case, 8 legs.

How many pieces of fabric in a 9-patch? Minimum 9. Lots of mine get HSTs
thrown in.
Roberta in D, Queen of the Scrap Heap
******************************
There are nine pieces of fabric in a nine-patch, but I, like many
others, generally start with two pieces.

Lee

*************************
It varies. Some QI's are human and have 2. Some are feline and/or canine and
have 4. I'm sure there are other varieties with more or less legs which I'd
prefer not to think about. J
Sherri G in Kentucky

**********************************
The Queen Of Everything's Answer:

Some people have dogs or cats as QI. Those QI probably
have 4 legs each. The Frood Twins are cute QI and have
2 legs each. I do not have canine, feline, or human QI.

My QI is a centipede. Her name is Centavia! She has
about 1000 legs. She is always stealing fabric to make
trousers. You would too if you had that many legs!!

Your friend in VA/USA. PAT the Official Chocolate
Taster of RCTQ

*************************
FOUR (if it's my dog)
FOUR (if it's your cat)
TWO (if it's Selma's bird)
None (if it's your snake) BTW... snakes don't have armpits either! hehe
