Chica, I LOVE it!
I would do a mid-large B&W border, just sayin'.
Then again, I realized you weren't asking for advice....
LOVELY piecing!

Looks amazing!!! Who is this one for Pat?

Re: It's what's on my wall.......

First, I feel honored for getting my first 'Chica'!!!

Second, I have no clue who it is for. It was a class my friend was teaching at the shop and she talked me into taking it! With my abundance of jelly rolls, how could I say no??

Re: It's what's on my wall.......

All laid out.....now to look at it a day or two before I start sewing.......

That's fabulous! I love that pattern How many jelly rolls did you use?

Just one! I have several left over, so when I get home, I'm going to see if there are enough to add another row each direction...I'm pretty sure there are.

You sew a light and dark together, then cut them into 4.5" squares. If you have OCD, this is not the quilt for you! It caused me more grief than the D9P did!!!!

Looks great!!! I like the stairstep pattern. Can't wait to see what it looks like when you get it finished.

I like it! Just one jelly roll? I have several sitting in my stash, this might be the pattern for them. I am a bit OCD, so was it in the layouts that it caused you fits?

I have some D9P blocks on my design wall right now. They are made out of some squares that I rec'd from Cyndi for guessing one of her contests correctly. I think I am going to make them into several little stillborn bereavement quilts.

Re: It's what's on my wall.......

I had a much worse time laying out the D9P! This was kinda confusing to me, and as you can see, the two pictures have a different layout. I had to change it up so the colors repeated the same or it would have made me crazy! I finally printed out a piece of graph paper and got out my coloring pencils and figured it out that way. I did have to rip apart some of my squares to get some more of the orange/black ones because there were not enough, and I ended up making seven of them. Today, I will try to use up the rest and decide if I am going to border it or not.....I have plans in my head, but don't know if I will go thru w/them or not!

Re: It's what's on my wall.......

I pull out the graph paper all of the time. Glad to hear I am not the only one! I think my D9P are going to be small quilts for Sue's group, so will just be putting 4 together and bordering. I don't do completely random scrappy ever, but planned scrappy works ok for me.

I love it, this is a beautiful quilt top to be on your wall!!
Can't wait to see it finished, have fun putting this beauty together!!

Re: It's what's on my wall.......

I like it and I had to laugh over your comment on the OCD. The last time I asked my OCD daughter to help with a D9P layout, I thought I'd end up in a Nursing Home before she made up her mind!

I like the pattern and I see that you mentioned a light and a dark for squares. I have a colorful Fusion jellyroll. I wonder how it would look?

[bubba]

Re: It's what's on my wall.......

As long as there are enough of each color to be able to do the stripes, it should be fun. None of the blacks are touching a matching black, etc......

Don't let the daughter help you!!
