I'm going to be starting a Disappearing 9 patch,what would you quilter's pick for the size of the blocks ? Connie in CO

Many of us use the 5 inch charm size but other sizes work well also. Remember the larger the square you start with the less scrappy it will look. Do a search for D9P and see the different ones people have made.

Hi it depends on what size quilt I am making and hoow fast I want to finish.

I've used 6" squares to start. Both of the D9P's I've worked on were not scrappy and had a focus fabric that I really wanted to stand out. It really depends on what you're looking for.

I used a layer cake for mine

This is what I'm thinking of using,I've had it all for years and it's time to use it up.Connie in CO

i think it depends on the fabric you are using and size of quilt and how fast you need to get it done

I just love your paisley. I have a thing about paisley's and love how the spin all the colors in palette.

i have used some of that bottom one

I want to use the 3 bottom ones for sure.I have 4 yards of that Paisley.

Love the Paisley!! I'm a paisley lover also! Most definitely do a D9P on the Search. I've made them from 3" squares all the way up to 12" squares (I had a paisley that I wanted to dominate the pattern). There are many beautiful, beautiful pictures on here. Do the search, you'll be glad you did!! :-)

In the Gallery of Quilts on the picture page,I'm liking sewsewquiltes's.

I tried one with 3 1/2" squares, only I strip sewed them first. I quickly learned to hate it so now it's gone into my UFO basket. I've seen some beautiful ones on here, unfortunately mine isn't.

Same here!! And I can never seem to find them! That looks like a nice group for a D9P !!
Can't wait to see what you do :thumbup:

OK,I've decieded on 5" squares,It's cut but not sewn together.

That is so cute, good choice for those fabrics. :-D :-D

It's really looking good. Be sure to let us see it when it's finished.

cute cute fabric, looks like the light rectangles will give you a secondary pattern also. Can hardly wait to see when it is finished!

So pretty...I really like the fabric that you are using...

Connie, that is absolutely gorgeous!!! :D:D

OK,have 16 blocks done and going to sew them together now or tomorrow.I have fabric for boarders but i don't know the one to use first.

I'm working on a 7" next time I might use a 6" or 6 1/2" the sall widths of my rulers

How big is your quilt going to be? Connie in CO
