    Another beautiful quiltl with the D 9P, I never knew there could be so many variations, sort of like the log cabin quilt. Thanks.

    I think whether you use the D9P or the log cabin, it would be neat to use all the colors of your different family units in the quilt. For example, you could use them in the center squares of the D9P or the log cabins. That way, no matter who wins it, they have a bit of all the family with them.

    Sorry to put another suggestion into the mix, what about a "Thinking Outside the Block" pattern, which is just a small variation to log cabin. As someone else suggested google images. This block is most effective and you only need to use shades of one color to achieve the effect. Good luck on your search, and all the best for the reunion.
