How much more work do you want to do? It's great as is... You could make it a d9p but it would be like starting over, timewise. Both ways work, it's really a matter of how much more time and effort you want to put in it.

I like the way the colors play together. DP9 might make it too busy.

I also like it the way you have it!

You said yourself that you like it as it is. Why over think it? Many quilts start with one plan in mind and finish in another way. That's the fun and creativity of quilting. Go with it. Maybe your next project will be a D9P.

Like most of the other ladies, I would keep it as is and finish. You could do a dp9 on the next quilt.

It looks fine. So cheerful.

My quilting evolves as I proceed. You may have started with a D9P in mind, but as it progressed, you make a design change. Look at it this way. You couldn't have done it in reverse, so all is good. I agree with many others on the size. The bigger the better for a comfort quilt............even for a baby.

It looks great just the way it is.

Make one more of each block, cut into d9p and then see which you like better......

My main reluctance to leave them as a 9P is that I cut the squares at 5.5" and I'm thinking that's pretty big squares for a lap quilt 9 patch.
It should finish at about 50" square. If cut for the D9P, the squares will mostly be smaller so more fitting for a smaller quilt, I'm thinking.

What do you all think? I need to decide by Weds. so I can keep going on it.

By cutting it into a D9P, you will lose 1/2 inch for each block. No big deal. And as for the work, when you see how cute it will be as a D9P, the work will seem like fun. Your quilt will be 2 inches shorter in length and 1 1/2 in less in width.
