Sure you can. Scramble and mix them up. Throw caution to the wind. Have fun! Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Karynne, could you please share EXACTLY how to find those D9P pics? I can find the quilt gallery sticky OK but I don't know how to search.

At the top . Go to Home. Then Pictures and Gallery is the first entry. Click on that and then you will find a list of quilts, they are in Alphabetical order Hope this helps

I'm one of those people who tries but always ends up laying things out contrary to what I'm "supposed to". I can't follow recipes exactly either. I try to set out the blocks the way the pattern indicates and then end up moving them around to suit me.

I love the idea of mixing them up. Sounds like an oppurunity to make 2 quilts, one mixed and one not. Like the advice to lay them out and see what strikes you.

Quote: I have used up all my scrappy squares and made 9 patch blocks, and then cut them for a D9P. I am excited to start sewing, but my question is: Do all the squares from the same 9 patch block need to stay together, or can I use them each as their own block and put it anywhere. This quilt is so so soooooooooooo scrappy. I will post pictures once I get some of it worked up. Any advice or options are helpful. Thank you!
The D9P's that I liked best have the center block of each 9-patch the same vibrant color: white, black, or bright solids. Very small prints work too, but large prints get lost when you cut them into 4 pieces. That way the whole quilt looks very scrappy, and you've used lots of your scraps, but the bright center pieces (which are now quite small) give a patterned look to the quilt.
But this advice is too late for you, since you have the 9-patches already made and cut. Then I'm with everyone else. Play with them and have fun.

If your fabrics are all scrappy, lay them out so that the lines please your eye. There are lay-out designs for controlled fabrics as well.
