DP9 on Point
 

Hello! Awhile back someone showed up their DP9 on point and I fell in love with it. I was at the point of putting my blocks together too but decided to change to "on point". So this quilt came together thanks to you all showing us new ways of arranging simple blocks. This was my 1st DP9 too. Hopefully the colors will come over true. Its a beige background, blues and browns blocks with solid black as the coins. I also found a backing with a black background and lots of bicycles. My friend loves to ride off road bicycles and I found a digital "Live to Ride", Ride to Live" pattern that just fit the bill. This was also the first time I chunked my corner border sections with the border going across so a lot of firsts with this quilt.

With the leftover 5" blocks, I made a simple quilt for his kitty "Highway". Quilted kitties E2E on the body of the quilt and kitties along the border. Added an "H" to the corners for her name.

Would have gotten this done a while back but I blew out a disc in my lower back in February and have not been able to sit or stand for any length of time since. Have 9 more quilts to quilt up so you'll be seeing more from me in the near future.

Very nice!! :thumbup:

Ok, now I want to try a D9P on point! This is great!! I love the colors too!

Love your block arrangement and fabric choices. Ok, Another item on the bucket list- I have to make it to at least 125 and be able to piece and quilt to finish this list...

Love your quilt. It's so fresh looking. Great job.

Very, very nice. I really like the d9p, but never thought about arranging the blocks on point. I really do like yours.

Great quilt, it's on my list of to do's. Love the way you set it on point.

I likeeee a lot. On point does change things.

Absolutely beautiful!!! Looking at it you would never guess it was a D9P

These are fantastic.......

That looks great! Love the colors and just love the way it looks on point!

Pretty colors....

Love your quilts. Will be looking forward to seeing more work from you. Keep up the good job!!

Love that you put the blocks on point - gives the D9P a whole different look. I'm sure Highway will enjoy his/her quilt too.

I love how this turned out. What did your original block look like before you cut it? Were they all the same or different?

Leslie, this is a disappearing 9-patch and I don't know if there is really a pattern or not. Might check YouTube as someone is always putting out videos on new ideas. Sorry I can't be of much help. Might check the Photos here as that's where I found the DP9 on point. That's what set me on this path to turning my blocks.

I love this. Where did you place the colors to accomplish this? Just beautiful!

I put the solid black in the center of all the blocks and alternated the browns and blues to the outer corners. Various beiges were used for the lights. Then I added the sashing between the blocks. I mainly used what I had on hand in my stash so guess you could call this a freebie quilt. I have a whole tote full of 5" squares so may need to make another quilt soon. Been working on my scrap tote and have made 4 larger lap quilts. Seems my scraps keep procreating during the night as the level hasn't gone down any it seems. Just took one scrappy off the frame and have the next one ready to go today. I'm on a roll I think after going thru a funk this summer. Just couldn't get into the mood to do any sewing.

Thanks for looking at my quilts. Will be sending them to Florida in the next week or so.

Dianne, I put the solid black in the center in each block, the blues & browns to the outer corners, beiges between. Added solid beige for the sashing between the blocks. I have a design wall so made it easier to arrange them till I like what I saw. Was just about ready to start putting the blocks together in the normal way when someone on this site showed us their DP9 on point. Just had to try it with my blocks.

Thanks for looking.

Beautiful quilts.
