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

Rose Marie

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.

Rose Marie

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.

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>.
