I haven't done one yet, but I LOVE this one, and have saved it for inspiration. You can see the entire post with more pictures here.

interesting, wonder why they call it heirloom!

I think she called it Heirloom because that's the name of the fabric line she used.

Thanks! I was inspired by a different quilt in similar colors that was hanging at the LQS. I thought I had a picture since I completed the center of the top but can't find it...must be in my laptop. I still have to put borders on it, but life has gotten in the way of that. Things will settle down in a week or two and I can get back to finishing it.

http://inlinethumb51.webshots.com/44...425x425Q85.jpg This one I called Raspberry fields cos of the colours and was made from umm I think 5 different fabrics.

I made this for my extra bedroom. I didn't want to change curtains or the bedskirt. I used three fabrics.

I never did a D9P before. I have learned a lot from your posting. There are so many wonderful looking quilt pattern and color ideas to choose from.

I think that I will add a D9P quilt to my list of quilts to make. Maybe for myself!

Thanks! These are all beautiful. I thought it would help me make a decison, but it has made it harder. I guess I will have to make one with 3 colors and a second with around 9!!

This is one with 9 different fabrics, the corners are larger prints, the inner blocks pale/small prints and the center the all the same. I then put it together in patterened fashion as opposed to a scrappy way.

My first quilt is a d9p. Chose this for sake of ease and so far, so good. I am using 4 colors and 9 fabrics. The aussiequilts one is gorgeous. Now I want to do one. I wonder how many she used?
