I am making one with my quilt club right now. We are using 3 fabrics. Your before and after block posts were great. Thank you so much for posting the whole top. I've never had a chance to really look at a 9 patch, or it's variation, that is so scrappy!! Usually, the scrappiness I see is too much and it's hard for me to see what the pattern is.

This one, you could still very clearly see the pattern. It was great use of your scraps. Each piece is "high lighted" so to speak. I was showing your pics to a friend of mine who is definitely NOT a quilter. She couldn't believe that it was the same block. She's decided she wants one. Maybe I can get her hooked!

You did a wonderful job on this quilt! And your presentation was great - I think you gave us a "Tutorial". Can't wait to start one now. Thanks!

I have GOT to try it. So tell me.. Why does it scare me? :roll: :oops: :?
Anyways..... Looking good kiddo. :D

That is so cute, I am going to have to give it a try for one of my grandsons. Thanks for the pictures!!!

It's one of the easiest quilts you can make. Easy is all I do. :D It just looks like a lot of piecing when it is done. Take your 4 batch you like to do and one a few more squares to make it a 9 batch. :D

I quilted this quilt in the ditch. I used flannel for the backing. Here is a picture of it completed and washed. It was a hit at the baby shower.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments. :-)

You're welcome. Thank you!

Glad it has turned out that way. I have gotten great ideas from this message board. Glad I can give something back to it.

That's how I thought of doing a I Spy using the D9B. :D

... Maybe I can get her hooked!

She would enjoy it. :D

Bevanger, you do have to be very careful when you go to cut your 9 patch into the 4 sections. It's easy to overcut or not find the exact middle and then your blocks are off. Take your time when cutting for sure and it will be great.

good idea...
