I've started collecting fabric for a quilt that will communicate cherry blossom season here in the Washington DC area -- pinks, off-white, pale ("spring") greens, moving into deep roses and rich olive greens, and possibly into darker magenta and deep forest greens.

I've been debating between a blooming nine patch and a one-block wonder design.

I'm feeling more drawn to the blooming nine patch-- I LOVE the transitions, BUT I prefer the more abstract layout of the OBW.

Which got me wondering (and I've already done some googling on this without success): Has anyone done a variation of the blooming nine patch that does not result in a square or rectangular format?

Thanks!
