I have black 2 yards. The colors are all 1 yard cuts. What do you think, rail fence? French braid? I just dont know. It will be for my sons bed a queen. I'm sure I dont have enough for the queen, but I can start it with what I have. I'd like some thing easy tho.

Thanks for any suggestions.

How about a D9Patch, using black as your center squares?
LOVE your colors.

You can do a D9P or a rail fence or even a strip quilt. Good luck and I know you will figure something out for it. Beautiful colors.

Oh yes, I like this idea too! I want to make a D9P soon, myself.

I have those fabrics and can't decide what to do with them. I think a rail fence would be nice but a D9P would be good too.

Bright fabrics, beautiful color variations!

I totally forgot about the DNP! Now that is a good idea. !!!!!!

What would you cut the squares to be for the disappearing nine patch?

cjomomma 06-20-2011 02:34 PM

I would use the black(center) with red and blue then the black(center again) with the green and yellow(orange yellow). JMO!!

I like the D9P idea with the black center and the alternating colors.

why not make it easy on yourself, cut at 3.5 nches, each finishes at 3 and your 9 patch becomes a 9 inch block?

I prefer 5in. Squares. But you can do whatever size you want. I think for a D9P the bigger square are best, seems to show off the colors better to me.

Everyone stole my idea of the D9P!

romanojg 06-21-2011 12:40 PM

I'm new and can't remember the name but how about that quilt that has been on here lately that has different colors with black behind it;like a shadow; maybe that's it, shadow box

BellaBoo 06-21-2011 12:50 PM

I'd go with pinwheels or Ohio star pattern.

Ngeorgia 06-21-2011 01:02 PM

I bought the same fabric to do a pinwheel also the friendship star. The background could be white and border with the black. Use the one square cut in 4 and it makes up easy.

Beautiful fabric. D9P would be lovely.
