Looks great. great fabric choices, as I first thought that they were all cut from the same master fabric (kind of like the kalidescope quilts are)

Oh what a beautiful B9P you've made. I have the book/pattern and was somewhat surprised how small the 9P and alternating blocks are. Curious if any fellow QB members have enlarged the block size and how it affected the overall appearance of the final quilt? In my case, I'm intending to make a king size quilt using large scale prints so I'm thinking a little larger sized block/9P would be appropriate but I do not want to lose the lovely illusion of the original pattern. I did note that the free pattern link provided by DebLuvsQuilting is a larger scale block/9P - interesting.

I made my own pattern in EQ (mostly just to figure out how much fabric of each color to buy). My finished blocks were 4.5 inches.

I have also had this on my list for a long time. Congrats to you for getting it done! And your quilt and the “bloom” are really pretty. I love your bold colors.

I have done the same in EQ8 using both 3.75" and 4.5" just to see how many fabrics it would take and their yardages. I, too, favor the 4.5" finished block with 10 fabrics (unless I repeat any) which I think would be beautiful. And large!

Thanks for sharing your beautiful finished B9P and modification info!
