Thanks for the comments so far. I am aware of how it will look when cut. Which is why I'm on the fence about these fabrics being together.

Three of these fabrics were given to me by my children for Mother's Day, pink floral is one of them. So, I figured I'd always wanted to do a D9...why not with my Mother's Day fabric! Um...yeah. Not superly excited about this...yet. Hopefully that will come.

I do like the idea about a solid sashing as an attempt to down play all the excitement this may create without it! Thanks!

I like all the fabrics. I would love to see the block cut and reassembled.

I can not picture how it will look, but then I have not done a d9p. Is it busy, yeah, but that is ok. I have a very busy quilt on a bed for my boys and we love it :lol: I questioned it when I was putting it together, but once it was complete with both boarders it was wonderful. If I were you, I would go with it, cut it out and then lay it out. If it looks to busy at that point, play with the sashing and boarders. It may surprise you how it changes. Best of luck with this and please keep us posted :-)

How about using 5 of your bright colors and 4 squares of a more neutral color in your nine patch? I think that will help to calm it down.

Have you seen Kaffe Fasset quilts? The more fabrics - the better.

And all of his fabrics are VERY busy.
Your blocks will be great.
