Members in my guild each made signed heat blocks and we set them in a DNP pattern. We presented the quilt to the outgoing quilt president. She loved it. I use the DNP pattern a lot. Thanks for this interesting variation. It's great! I can't wait to show off at guild! Thanks so much.

HST are all in the practicing. A few years ago I made a GD's graduation with nothing by HSTs. Can't remember the pattern, but it was in a magazine -- [perhaps a McCall quilting magazine]. It was a queen size. I got to be pretty good after a while. One of these glorious days, I'll run across the magazine -- I'm pretty sure I didn't get rid of it, since I rarely do that. :oops: I like Izy's method. Works fine for me.

OMG :oops: As I sat here this afternoon re-reading some of the posts from last night, I could not believe the errors in my post! I apologize. Some of you are probably thinking "And she was a teacher??!!!" Sorry. It should have read: "I made a GD's graduation QUILT with nothing BUT HSTs." But I'm sure most of you had gotten the picture already. You probably read right through it. :lol:

Oh, and Bellaboo, that heart quilt is soooooo cool. My wheels are already turning thinking of things that could be placed in the corner blocks.

Look what I made yesterday! I'm behind ya'll, since I have only just heard of the D9P, soooo, I had to try it first before I could play with the twist. Here is my first attempt. I was going to add two more sections and make a table runner. But today I had some 10 year old girls for a sewing class and they think it should be made into a purse. (They are making a purse for their first project). Thanks for the tute izzy. Now I'm on a roll.

Hope I attached the photo correctly
