I'm starting a D4P using blue and white fabric. This is my 1st block. It'll square off at 8". I think it came out pretty good but it was harder than I thought it would be making the seams line up. The first time I tried it, the center came out wonky, so I ripped it out, reread the instructions and tried again. Much better the second time.

very pretty, have fun!

The block is gorgeous and I'm planning to try it soon. Any tips for getting things to line up will be appreciated!

Oooh, it's beautiful. :) I love those fabrics/colors!

pretty block, I love the fabric.

Beautiful fabrics with good contrast, should make a great quilt. Would love to see it when completed.

Beautiful block. Can't wait to see the finished quilt.

Beautiful job! I love the colors!

That is pretty.

Pretty block!

Love those fabrics. Gonne be a cool quilt and I can't wait to see it completed.

I followed this tutorial: http://sewwonderful.blogspot.com/201...o-9-patch.html
Pay attention to the order of sewing the 9 pieces together as it's shown in the 4th picture. (I had to rip out and start over...) The second time I made sure the inner edges of my 3 vertical strips met cleanly and I tried to be very careful to maintain accurate seam allowances. A couple of seams in the final block are still a tiny bit off, but any wonkiness wound up being in the perimeter of the block and will be taken care of when I square up all the blocks in the end.

Thanks for the link and the tip, DoxieMom. By the way that's a gorgeous fur-person in your avatar!

Love the colors!!

Ooooo very pretty!! :D:D:D

Love your fabrics. Good job.

Ditto! Isn't it amazing the things that happen when we read the instructions? I usually wait until it's too late and have to start over from square one!

I just LOVE your D4P block. The colors are terrific, they just make that block so beautiful!!
:D :D :D :D

Please show us the finished quilt. Your first block is great!

Thank you so much for admiring my fur-baby! That's my sweet Curley, a 14 1/2 year old mini-dachshund. My other mini-dachshund, fur-babies are Lucy (11) and Sassy (9). I absolutely love these dogs, hence my name: "DoxieMom"!

You are too funny!!! Yes, if all else fails, read the directions!

Pretty block, can't wait to see a finished quilt.
I'm planning to make one soon, going to try a different arrangement.

Love your BLUES!

Love love love the blues.

Love your fabric, great looking block. I too found the block to be a little more daunting than I had expected.

Love it, love it!! My favorite color is blue!!
Great job... I'm wanting to try this block.'
