I too am making my very first DP9 with black and whites from Marcus. My thought was to insert a jewel batik and my question is where to place it for the most drama?? In the center, as the instructions I read say to place the dark fabrics in an X and the lights in the +. So the center would be cut into (4) 2" pieces creating a nice visual??
My grandaughter is graduating from high school this month and attending college in the fall, with this quilt I hope!
You guys have always been spot on with your ideas and I hope you can give me some dramatic ideas.
