There is a quilty technique going around here called "Circle of 9's". It is 9 blocks placed in a circle at 12 Oclock, 6, 3 and 9, with one in the center, then you make your background to fill in with one or two colors of your choice. I have one I made for my fur baby, but the full sized one I made I don't have a picture of. Forgot to get it before I put it in the mail for a new bride and groom. I'll try to get it posted for you all soon. Its a fun and quick one to do - good weekend project
