A year ago or more I kept hearing how great DP9s were so I got the idea to make one. BIG MISTAKE. Finally I took the blocks that I'd made, the blocks that I'd cut, and all the fabric needed to finish this large quilt to a retreat determined to finish it. I took it out and had it done in less than 10 minutes! One of the ladies across from me said oh that's so beautiful! I asked if she really liked it and when she said yes, I shoved it across the table, gave it to her and marked it off my list. Project done! So yes, I can feel your pain.
