Can I do a D9P with scraps? Couldn't I just make 1 block with scraps, then make another one with different scraps? Would I need any borders between the blocks?

It's your quilt. You can make it any way you like! No quilt police here!
|
It looks great with scraps, I would use one colour family for the center square so once it's sliced there will be some "pattern" visible.
|
Would be lovely made using scraps.
|
do 2 or 3 blocks and see if you like it.
|
I did mine with charm squares in the corners. I used one fabric for all the centers, and scrappy creams for the other squares.
Charm/Cream/Charm Cream/Dark/Cream Charm/Cream/Charm I think I used three different charm packs, picking out the light ones and using them with the creams from my stash. I have seen some done just all scrappy, but IMHO, I think it looks better with a little bit of consistancy. |

I made this with three inch squares and it is very scrappy. I made sure to put all red center squares to tie it together.
|
Love your quilt with the 3" sqs. in 9 patch. Then I guess you
split the block into 1/4'ths and re-assembled. Looks terrific. |
I like! :-D

I think it would be beautiful. Go for it and don't forget to post a pic.
|
I really like Penni's with the cream sashing, but I think you could also do it without sashing, but it would take quite a few more blocks.
|
I'm no expert, but I think I'd like it better with sashing than without on a scrappy quilt. I can't see why you couldn't do a scrappy one, they're fun! But without sashing, I think it would just...I dunno, make me cross eyed or something! LOL The sashing breaks of the various scraps, kwim?
|
Penni-cute cute quilt!
|
Absolutely.
I did. It was great.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I also like them without sashing, so whichever you plan to do, it will look great. Please remember to show us yours.
|
Penny, I really like your D9P with the sashing. This is the first time I have seen it layed out this way. My plan is to make a D9P quilt for my youngest grandson for Christmas next year (his cousins are getting quilts this Christmas). Maybe I'll do D9P for his brother too. One with sasing, one without.
|
I can't wait to see your scrappy version :D:D:D
|
Now I know what to do with those charm packs that I have a box of. And I wanted to try a D9P.
Thanks for sharing. |
Penni, it is pretty, I'm starting one now doing it differently, hard to say what it may end up looking like, just started it, kind of thinking as I go and not going to use sashes. It is for a nephew in law and his 2 sons to use for TV watching this winter.
sewnsewer2, your is pretty also. Love the scrappy look. |
Try a few blocks first. I think you just might like it!
|
Trick is CONTRAST as you see w/pic of quilts. As soon as the remodeling is done, I plan to do another D9P. Maybe a baby quilt.
