D9P stands for Disappearing 9 Patch
I started by making a 9 patch of 8" squares. Random fabric selection. Cut them in both directions down the center. If you rearrange them at this point, you have a D9P. Do a search on here and you'll find lots of beautiful examples. I just went another step to get the look I was wanting.
I did take some pics along the way if anyone wants to see the process.
I'd love to see the pics...quilt came out great! BTW, I wouldn't add borders, I'd just bind with a scraps left over from piecing. The subtle design is too pretty to distract from it with 2 borders, IMHO.
