I've used 6" squares. Made 3 blocks across and 4 down. Use for donation quilts. Will have one ready soon for posting a pic. Love the D9P. It comes together so quickly.

Just for a lark and to use up some scraps, I did 8 inch squares. It was interesting to do such a large square but still very visually effective. It made a really quick lap quilt.

I had enough left over quilting material to cut 4 inch squares for a DP9 for a pillow top to compliment a quilt.

Taught this to my Sew and Reap community quilt project group, we have used 5 and 6 inch blocks so far. Some scrapy and one with yellows and blues and one with earth tones and one with purples and pink. Three of them we put sashing around the four blocks we made from the nine patch. Turned out beautiful. I do not know how to post pictures on here. Have to see if my hubby can show me. The tutorial I watched the women used 10 inch blocks. Have fun!!

I had some scraps(don't ask what size can't remember) but didn't want to throw them out, so made small 9 patch out of them. Didn't like that either so made D9P and loved them. I framed the small 6" blocks with a larger sashing to outline them, then used a inner strip dark blue so I have a strip quilt. I am using that for my hubbby's favorite wool blanket which has gotten really ugly over the yrs, but he loves it and its still in good shape. So will use it for batting and tie it.
