Process Post

On my "Design Wall Monday" post I shared a project that I was trying to decide what to do with.

this is what my design wall looked like.

I purchased these blocks pre-made. Looking at the center square, it was obvious she was working on a disappearing 9patch.

close up of the print! FISH!!

So....after debating on whether or not I wanted to do a disappearing 9 patch pattern (as opposed to just throwing in some solids and borders)...I decided that I did want to. So...I cut the patches down and arranged them.

my layout at first

 Lisa and I looked at this and decided I needed to phenagle another row out of it somehow.

so, I cut some fabric. 

and seam ripped some fabric

until I could have enough for THIS layout!

time for the borders!

TA DA! 

Design Wall Monday-May 7th

Here it is:

this is what I am working with. I picked these up, pre-made, as a way to throw a quick, but cute, quilt together.  Obviously, she was working on a disappearing 9-patch (see center square). 

 Here's a close-up.

Here are my questions...do I leave it set up this way and just fill in with 4 blocks where there is white? Here is the extra fabric I have:

Or should I cut the other 4 to make disappearing 9 patch blocks with them as well...sew them all together and then border it with the fish fabric?

Or?? suggestions?

I do think I have enough to make one more 9-patch block like the ones above...maybe I should make that, then sew them all into the disappearing 9patch blocks and sew them all together in a 2x3 pattern-then border with the fish fabric....hmmm...i like that idea. I would love to hear YOUR feedback though!
