Rose Marie -- that's sew pretty!!

Ooooh that would be pretty in scraps :D Please post a picture of your quilt, we would all love to see it :D :D :D

I think a scrappy would be great, so go for it!!!

Go for the scrappy. I am using scraps to makeone. I like it! :lol:

Thanks for the compliments sewjoyce and Loretta.
I used 5 inch squares but next time will use 4 inch I think that is the perfect size for that pattern. Scrapier the better also next time.

The picture I posted is with 5 inchs and it is fine. I just think 4 would be better. Use what you have, it will turn out great.

Here is one that is scrappy with hearts. My guild made it this in two work days for a fast raffle quilt and we made the outgoing quild prez one too.

WOW, love the hearts. Great idea for larger squares.

After seeing those pictures I am going to get at it, they are lovely! Maybe that will help me get over my fears of mixing colours & patterns! Thanks

I wish I could remember where I read the following information about the D9patch technique, but it seems like it might add to the discussion.

They said that when you cut the nine patch in half on both of those directions, you have in effect created a patch with a sashing and cornerstone on it.

I may be the only one who needed to be told that was the effect of doing those two cuts on a nine patch, but it really made a difference in my mental picture of the block - - and the possibilities.

I may have control issues which is why I enjoyed that little fact <g> but on the other hand - - I am also fascinated by lava lamps, so ... the simple things really keep me entertained <g>.
