I've not gotten to the LQS yet... pesky work... gets in the way of all the stuff I want to do! But here is the 5" fabric squares layout for the D9P QAL...
The corner fabrics are from the "Penelope" charm packs and the center square will be a constant. (The white squares are the cardboard backing from the charm packs... haven't gotten the solid/neutral yet.) I'm not going to worry about two damasks per 9-patch... 'cause I have the big picture in mind.
There is no reason you can't have five different prints per 9-patch... I think scrappy would look great as well.
Scrappy does well, in my humble opinion. Though I strongly feel it's good to have a constant center block in each 9 patch. Pulls the quilt together.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, it looks good - even with the paper standing in for the solid/neutral. :o)
ReplyDelete"pesky" is a nice word! *&%#@ work gets in my way too!
ReplyDeleteThe layout looks good!
The bummer is that in my life without work there would be so much less quilting. I might have to find a second job as my current job just relocated to within less then a 10 minute ride from my favorite LQS and LKS and within 15 minutes of a Joanns and Michaels. This could become very expensive even with coupons. We all should have such troubles.
ReplyDeleteI am all about the scrappy!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI guess I'll be cutting tomorrow; making mine scrappy with the center neutral.
