Design Dilemma Solved


Thank you for all of your opinions about my scrappy quilt.

I have to tell you that my overwhelming desire to see what the orange peel blocks looked like butted together outweighed everything.


 I really do love the circular pattern that is formed.

But I couldn't let the 9 patches go to waste. 


I am not crazy about how the 9 patches worked out.  It looks a bit old fashioned.  I think when the quilt is on a bed and the 9 patches are the drop, it will look fine.

    I think it looks great! I have an orange peel quilt from the 1940's...

    I think it would look beautiful no matter how you arranged the blocks. Great job! You have inspired me to put this quilt on my todo list for 2012. Thank you

    Love that decision and the drop of 9 patches grounds it nicely. Have a happy new year :-)
