I have made several, all scrappy, and some with charm square packs from Moda - Lots of colour but not necessarily a distinct pattern. They are a great way to use those 5 inch squares.

I just finished this twin size D9P for Christmas. I used 3 different types of Christmas fabrics. I quilted snowflakes in the center with a penguin border

BEAUTIFUL quilts, ladies (and gents??)!!!

What is a D9p?
|
I am going to brag on you and date myself at the same time. That's so TUFF!
Translation: Da Balm! Lady like: Your work is stunning and the recipient will be so pleased. |
I have made two big quilts and one crib size. they were posted on this site. one is in the picture gallery.
|
I'm glad you posted this. I have not made a D9P (but would like to soon), and have wondered also about the colors. I am bookmarking this thread! Thanks!

I made this one using 3 fabrics. It was for a friend going through chemo & is one of my favorites. My friend is now cancer free!

If you have a photo of your d9p can you post it and tell me how many different fabrics used and the placement of the fabrics to make your specific quilt? I am leaning towards 4 to 5 fabrics. Thanks in advance.

My church group is a little different. Still using scraps, we have the same black print center square, blues, mauve pinks, peaches, greens alternating with off white squares. Will not be using sashing on this one. This one looks good without. Good Luck. If still unsure, make samples or at least lay fabric out to see how they look. |
All these are so nice. I need to get one done.

I did a B&W with Turquoise and am working on a blue/green/yellow one. I like the B&W one best. The other one is busier than I envisioned. I only have a pic of the B&W one and the safari one, not for the blue/green/yellow. The Safari one I made using a panel for the squares and border print for the border.

Did not see a single one I did not like. I love scrappy quilts and hope to make one of these in the near future..

I love your cat quilts. Who could be more worthy of their own quilt than a faithful and loving cat?

Thanks to all of you for posting the D9P pictures, I liked all of them :thumbup:

I love D9Ps too. Here are a few I have done.
The whirlygigs was done with all scraps of musical fabrics and some other scraps to finish it out. Butterflies and flowers floating around the pink and purple theme. In the last one I used only blue and yellow but used 3 or 4 shades of each. musical whirlygigs [ATTACH=CONFIG]269591[/ATTACH] butterflies and flowers [ATTACH=CONFIG]269592[/ATTACH] blue and yellows [ATTACH=CONFIG]269593[/ATTACH] |

Not sure how to add a picture when I'm replying to a topic, so here is the link for one I did for my son a couple of years ago for their 5th anniversary, (divorce is to be final this Friday). I did it with charm packs. It's the third one down. This was one of the first quilts I did, and of all things I do a king size.

For the quilt question - I'm planning on doing one of these too for a granddaughter. I've been playing around with it. I think I may use 2 "prints" (prints are little girl types of fabrics) and then use purple, green and pink for the other patches (including the ones that will be cut). When I construct my first patch I'll pic it for you. I'm glad you asked this question!!! |
Thank you quiltingaddict....

Here is a link to all D9P on the board. Go nuts! :thumbup:

This is my D9P, 3 basic colors, but more prints, as you can tell...
|
Someone on the board had an avatar with only two colors Turquoise and White that looked very stunning. I just finished a small one and it was a lot of fun to see it come together. There are SO MANY ways of laying out your blocks.... GOOD LUCK in making that decision!!!

Here is a baby quilt I made recently with five colors. My first D9p. It was fun!
|
Here's a couple I did a couple of years ago. They are both three color, and it really makes a difference where you put your darks and lights.

These are beautiful D9P! I attempted one recently, but was not pleased with the early results (too busy for my taste). I've recently made some of the blocks into many house blocks, 15 so far.
Good luck. It's a relatively easier block to complete. |
