Just finished a DP9 with a bunch of patriotic fat quarters I had. Quilted it on the machine with just loops and stars. The squares that look solid actually are small star prints.

Thanks for looking :D

I Like I like.

Very nice! I love the D9P pattern.

Love patriotic and the DP(. Going to have to try it someday!

I likey. Does it need a home?

Beautiful quilt. Makes me want to start a July 4th quilt even though I have a brand new one waiting to be picnic'd on.

Great work!!

Kyia

Awesome quilt!!!! The DP9 pattern was a perfect choice for your fabrics, good job :D :D :D

That looks very nice! I love the red, white and blue in that pattern.

I like the stripes in there! This is really cool. I think this is my favorite D9 ever!

Very pretty.

Very pretty!

Me likey!! :)

I like it. Very patriotic, without the usual stars and stripes look to it.

Oh that looks difficult as all get out- as they say in Texas. great quilt!

Loving it!!! I do so want to try that pattern.

That looks great. I really like the border you used.

I love it! I love patriotic things! I really like what you did!

Very nice job! Are you keeping it?

Thanks, Quilt4U, ai731!

Beachlady and nursesews - it is a simple pattern, goes together really quick - you should try it!

SharonC - I've been wanting to make a patriotic quilt and the dp9 was perfect for all the fat quarters I had. Enjoy your picnic!

Kyia, amma, and Pam - thanks!! :D

LisaT - thanks for saying that! That's sweet!

littlehud, sewnsewer2, terri, mytwopals - Thanks! :D

nativetexan - really it's an easy quilt!

RoseMarie - thanks, I had some strips left over from the nine patches and used them.

debbie1 and janstar - thanks and yes, I'm keeping this one :D

Nice work--envy everyone that gets one done in a timely manner.
Thanks for sharing your photos

Very Pretty :D

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.

Terrific! The border is great. It looks comfortable, doesn't it?

Thanks K!! :D

Thanks Ducky - it is a very comfy couch quilt!!

Your welcome Sewlady31 - they go together very quick.

Oh, it's beautiful! I love how you made the backing - Well done!

I just love that! (What size were your squares?)

Thanks ChattanoogaRocks!

sewjoyce, thanks - the squares were 5".

I did a table runner with 5" squares but thought they were too big for the project. So I did another table topper using 4 1/2". It made a square of about 31" -- still trying to decide if I like it or not :lol: :lol:

But your quilt is gorgeous!! Have you tried the D9P using anything besides 5" square?

Thanks! This was my first DP9. Would love to see a pic of your table runner and table topper. I wonder what really small squares would look like for a mini quilt or maybe a tote bag. Hmmmm, got me thinking now!

Very nice design--has a contemporary feel to it!

And red, white and blue--what could be more appropriate
for this time of the year!!!!

Here is the link to my D9P: http://www.quiltingboard.com/posts/list/20174.page

This was my first attempt, too. Gee, a tote bag made with say, 3" blocks? Wow -- might have to try that out :lol: :lol:

I haven't finished the table topper yet -- on the agenda for quilting this week. It's for Christmas so I'm not in a real rush -- yet!

Thanks Joan!

sewjoyce - I really like your table runner! I love how all the different fabrics make the pattern look so different than mine. Seriously considerin the tote - haven't made a tote yet, maybe I'll practice on one piece of fabric first, then move on to the patchwork.
