It should finish at about 50" square. If cut for the D9P, the squares will mostly be smaller so more fitting for a smaller quilt, I'm thinking.
What do you all think? I need to decide by Weds. so I can keep going on it.
By cutting it into a D9P, you will lose 1/2 inch for each block. No big deal. And as for the work, when you see how cute it will be as a D9P, the work will seem like fun. Your quilt will be 2 inches shorter in length and 1 1/2 in less in width.
