    What a great idea! I know the pattern but have never seen it put together this way - I love it! I looks kind of 3D!

    Thanks everyone for your kind comments.

    For the original placement of the 9 patch I placed the I Spy squares in each corner, pink squares in postion 2 on row 1 and 3, and position 1 and 3 in row 2. A white square for the center (row 2 position 2). When I cut the nine patch I twisted the top left block and the bottom right block so the white squares were on the outside corner. Hope that makes sense.

    :-)

    Love your colors, and the matching one for the dog is such a cute idea. She will love it.

    What a wonderful way to use the squares. That is one adoreable quilt.
    Make another stuffed dog quilt and swap it in the next DQS. It is too cute.

    Has anyone ever done a D9P in Batik? I have some batik fabric and wanted to see what it would look like to do the D9P. Possibly for a baby Quilt..?
