[QUOTE=kitsykeel Do you have to paper piece this pattern? [/QUOTE]
I don't think you HAVE to pp this pattern, I know there are lots of books showing techniques and even a special ruler that can help. Also, Quilter's Cache has templates for non-paper piecing.

On the D9P I use the same center fabric in all the blocks - gives it some unity
Remember that not only is the center block being cut (in quarters) all 4 squares that touch it are halved.
That said, I would not waste Civil War fabric on a D9P.
Why not make a quilt more typical of the era - even though it wasn't your war.
You could google "Civil War quilt patterns" to get some ideas.
Have fun
and, Happy New Year.

I just have to say that I ordered the Hawaiian Delight pattern that Peckish used and received it yesterday...her quilt is so much more beautiful than the one pictured on the pattern! Laundry Basket Quilts would do themselves a big favor if they paid Peckish to use her photo.
