I've seen D9P ... and guess just got blinded with the N :lol:
DNP would make a perfect filler around the blocks ... use scraps? or find a small print fabric that relates to the book, to work like an "I Spy"? or an assortment of fabrics that would be "I Spy-able"
<------ Now stashing DNP acronym in the bran! :)

ok...googled it.
BOB - depending upon previous discussions, could be black on black, blue on blue or beige on beige
BOM - Block of the Month, something offered by quilt shops, both local ones and online. When you done making twelve of them you add some borders and you have a quilt.
BRB - be right back
BTW - By the way
CW - civil war
D9P or DNP - disappearing nine patch - a specific method of taking a basic nine patch block, cutting it in half each way to end up with four pieces, rotating two diagonally opposite corners 180 degrees then sewing together as a four patch.

Oh Dreamer, I wasn't challenging you, just admitting my own stupidity in not thinking about it!! I'll call it lack of caffeine this morning!! :)
Be careful on the BOB ... when I saw it (before I read your description) ... there's another meaning, totally unrelated to quilting!!!! *gasp* :lol:
