Sweet and pretty quilt, very nice sentiments too.

Dear Sandy

yes, it is a disappearing 9 patch and sewing a nine patch and cutting it in four is the whole pattern. I started with strips of 4". Two times one strip of bright fabric with two darker on the side and one time dark fabric in the middle and the brighter ones on the side (half the lengh as you only need one per nine patch). Sewing strips is much easier. If you are done simply cut them in whatever you started out - in my case 4". This way the nine patch blocks are done in no time.
If you want to add alternating blocks just cut them after you are finished with the disappearing nine patches. So the size of the blocks wont matter much as long as they are all the same. I think big prints or panels are great for inserting in this quilt.
Go ahead and have fun! It is such a simple pattern and the outcome looks so great. I just pulled mine out of the dryer and it is so soft and cuddly - I love it!

Darling little quilt! What a clever idea!

Everyone can use a guardian angel. Good job.

Amazing to sew so many pieces together in such a short time. Good job.

ROFL...............you know me so well!

First congratulations on your new arrival. I am sure the whole family is thrilled.
Your little guardian quilt is just perfect and I am sure baby will enjoy it.

Did you have a pattern? Just gorgeous.

My prayers are with the little girl. My son was also born 3 months early, 45 years ago. He is now a 6' healthy

Love, love, love the angels!

adorable!!!

So cute, love the angels.

What a Sweet Quilt. I am sure the Angels will watch over her.

It's very very pretty. I am sure it will provide much comfort to mother and child. My best wishes to both of them

Cute quilt. Is that a Disappearing 9 Patch around the angels? I should have read all the posts before I posted because I see my answer now!!

This is precious.....will send positive thoughts to you and your family!

DP9 revised and beautiful. How creative!!! Your quilt is quite adorable and will be much appreciated. I like doing machine embroidery also. I just did a DP9 using 12-10" layer cake squares, cut into 4 squares (corners of the 9patch) and a couple coordinating fabrics' one for the center and the other for the four inner outside squares. I scattered the blocks to make it scrappy looking. I prewashed all the fabric, including the layer cake, thus shrinkage caused me to cut those 10" layer cake squares down to 9 1/2", but the blocks ended up around 12"; added a couple borders and ended up with a 43x55 quilt.

Great quilt love your angels
