You all have given me so many ideas, thanks so much. I have never made a D9P so I think I will try it first with my Christmas charms. I always like to work on two quilt tops at one time, using the Bonnie Hunter leaders and enders idea. I like the Missouri Star idea of making HST's by sewing around the squares so I think I will do that too. Now this afternoon while I watch the snow falling, I think I will look at the site recommended above. It sure looks good.
