    This turned out really nice as a D9P. Good job.

    I love your quilt. Just a question did you do just a two color 9 patch
    for the initial blocks and then mix and match the cut apart pieces?
    Good job!

    Thank you Loretta, Charlie2, Bev, and Mrs Mel! :D

    Sewlady31 - I used 8 different fat quarters. I cut them into 5" strips and 5" strips of the background fabric - making each into a 9 patch. Each nine patch was just the background fabric and one of the fat quarter colors.

    I followed gcathie's instructions that she posted for her DP9 - if you go to page 3 of the following link, you'll see how easy it is to do!

    Good luck!!

    Vicki that's fabulous! I love it! And the border arrangement really sets it off.

    Thanks for the info. I am the type of person that needs the visual to
    see how it is actually going to turn out.
    I would like to make up a few of these, for my nephews clan, they
    lost their belongs and house in a fire, so when they get situated I thought
    that I would have quilts similar so they would somewhat match for his
    four little ones. If I go with more complicated piecing, they might be
    graduating before I get them all done.
    Thanks so much for the inspiration.
