I started by making a 9 patch of 8" squares. Random fabric selection. Cut them in both directions down the center. If you rearrange them at this point, you have a D9P. Do a search on here and you'll find lots of beautiful examples. I just went another step to get the look I was wanting.
I did take some pics along the way if anyone wants to see the process.

If you put your blocks on point, they'll straighten out. Also, I wouldn't do sashing because it will break up part of the design, imo.

Looks great, what a good idea to take it one step further. I'd use a straight setting so you don't lose the on point effect you're already getting where the blocks come together. I'd add a somewhat darker narrow border and a wider border also.

I am curious as to what your block size ended up after you did all the cutting. Also how many fat quarters did you use. I like the idea of cutting the block into a d9p and then sub-cutting them again like you did. I might try that, as I love the look you ended up with and your colors are almost the same as I would choose. Jan :thumbup:

Thanks for all the kind comments. I'll try to post some pics tonight (dh is working so I should have time). I guess I should post in the tutorial section? It will take some time to crop and resize, so please be patient. :-)
I like all the recommendations for names of the pattern. Keep them coming! lol
