I think it looks great the way it is now! It would also look great as a D9P, but would be more work. It's nice and clean the way it is. As far as the size, I don't think that is too big at all. Any way you do it the result will be nice!

Why make it smaller? Keep it the way it is!

I like it just the way it is.

Once again, Duncan has taken the words before I could type them. If you are pleased with what you see, sew it together, quilt it and bind it and then you can move onto your next project. !!

Agree with everyone else.
Let the next one be a D9P

I received my comfort quilt after a not so interesting time in my life. I still use it as a nap quilt on my couch. So the larger size will be appreciated.

although I like it now, I think your first plan is the one I prefer. I think that you made the right placements of blocks to make a terrific d9p. I would keep chopping.

I know we are not a ton of help but it's true, it will be wonderful either way. Personally I would probably go ahead with the dp9 not because of size but because I tend to make busier quilts, and I love when a non quilter looks at it in awe thinking how hard it must of been. Hahah can't help it I kind of like the ego boost.

I really like it the way it is...maybe the quilt is trying to tell you to just stitch it together...lol
