What size are your blocks?

About 2 inch hexagons.

The squares in this particular quilt top "began life" at 3.5"
so the original 9 patches are 9.5" (unfinished) and the "disappeared" (yes I know it's probably not a word I'm not illiterate.. just a little silly) 9 patches are 9" unfinished.
I have made this pattern several times. I have started with 3.5" squares.. 5" squares and 6.5" squares..
Think I'm going to try an even smaller square next time.. hmmmm..

thanks for the great tutorial Tippy!

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. On my to do list.

Hi Tippy: Thank you for the instructions. I just finished my May DQ and thought I was doing the DP9, but I cut from corner to corner instead. It is still okay, but wasn't what I was trying to do. Now I know what I did wrong. Thanks again.

thanks so much. I was wondering what the D9P quilt was supposed to look like. I will have to try to make one soon.

I am doing one of those right now. I bought four charm packs of the Martinique by Moda collection. I had kinda planned on making the quilt that Moda designed for it, but after much study, decided it was way above my skill level. There is another cute pattern, a schniddles one that I really like, but it turns out very small.

I found a tutorial for doing this online and decided I could maybe handle it. My only problem was trying to figure out which of the over forty prints to put together in a random way. I don't do random too well. I ordered more fabric and plan to do a sashing and some borders, but I have no idea what size it will end up.

I just hope it turns out somewhat as nice as I have it pictured in my head. This will be my first real quilt of any size so I am a bit worried. I have made numerous baby quilts and mini's, but nothing I can wrap up in.

Of course the piecing is just the beginning, Then I have to figure out how to quilt it. I don't even want to think about that yet.

You may have come up with an awesome idea. "Mistakes" are sometimes the best ideas.

I will let you see and then decide :-) Hope my May DQ partner isn't looking.
