Another beautiful quiltl with the D 9P, I never knew there could be so many variations, sort of like the log cabin quilt. Thanks.

I think whether you use the D9P or the log cabin, it would be neat to use all the colors of your different family units in the quilt. For example, you could use them in the center squares of the D9P or the log cabins. That way, no matter who wins it, they have a bit of all the family with them.

Wow this is gorgeous, can't wait to see what you decide to use.......

Sorry to put another suggestion into the mix, what about a "Thinking Outside the Block" pattern, which is just a small variation to log cabin. As someone else suggested google images. This block is most effective and you only need to use shades of one color to achieve the effect. Good luck on your search, and all the best for the reunion.

I really like this I want to try making one what size block did you use? And what are the size if the strips with corner blocks? I am really new to quilting and any help would be appreciated

Wow! so many choices! yours is beautiful did you use turquoise for the center square?

All the examples given are wonderful! Hope you feel inspired!
