D9P stands for Disappearing 9 Patch

I started by making a 9 patch of 8" squares. Random fabric selection. Cut them in both directions down the center. If you rearrange them at this point, you have a D9P. Do a search on here and you'll find lots of beautiful examples. I just went another step to get the look I was wanting.

I did take some pics along the way if anyone wants to see the process.
I'd love to see the pics...quilt came out great! BTW, I wouldn't add borders, I'd just bind with a scraps left over from piecing. The subtle design is too pretty to distract from it with 2 borders, IMHO.

If you put your blocks on point, they'll straighten out. Also, I wouldn't do sashing because it will break up part of the design, imo.
Very Nice Quilt! Love the color combination. Now, I agree with deema (quoted) if you turn blocks, then one straightens out the on point one in the center. As for sashing, I would not; however, for borders, absolutely. I would use that dark green in maybe 2 inch and follow with the dark maroon in a 3inch border. Of course, that could be larger if you wanted a larger quilt. But in any event, you have one great quilt here.

Looks great, what a good idea to take it one step further. I'd use a straight setting so you don't lose the on point effect you're already getting where the blocks come together. I'd add a somewhat darker narrow border and a wider border also.

I am curious as to what your block size ended up after you did all the cutting. Also how many fat quarters did you use. I like the idea of cutting the block into a d9p and then sub-cutting them again like you did. I might try that, as I love the look you ended up with and your colors are almost the same as I would choose. Jan :thumbup:

Will be very pretty.

Thanks for all the kind comments. I'll try to post some pics tonight (dh is working so I should have time). I guess I should post in the tutorial section? It will take some time to crop and resize, so please be patient. :-)

I like all the recommendations for names of the pattern. Keep them coming! lol
