How much more work do you want to do? It's great as is... You could make it a d9p but it would be like starting over, timewise. Both ways work, it's really a matter of how much more time and effort you want to put in it.

You said yourself that you like it as it is. Why over think it? Many quilts start with one plan in mind and finish in another way. That's the fun and creativity of quilting. Go with it. Maybe your next project will be a D9P.

My quilting evolves as I proceed. You may have started with a D9P in mind, but as it progressed, you make a design change. Look at it this way. You couldn't have done it in reverse, so all is good. I agree with many others on the size. The bigger the better for a comfort quilt............even for a baby.

I made these 9 patches with making a D9P my intention. But now that I'm ready to cut them, I laid them out first and kinda like the way they look as a 9P.
My main reluctance to leave them as a 9P is that I cut the squares at 5.5" and I'm thinking that's pretty big squares for a lap quilt 9 patch.
It should finish at about 50" square. If cut for the D9P, the squares will mostly be smaller so more fitting for a smaller quilt, I'm thinking.
What do you all think? I need to decide by Weds. so I can keep going on it.
