how many fabrics for a d9p?
#1
Won a gift certificate from the fabshophop and am wanting to buy a fabric bundle to make a d9p but I've never made one. Is there a correct number of fabrics that do best? If not, what would you say the range is? Thanks! Virg

I use the same fabric for all the center blocks. My corners are scrappy and the other squares are all the same (I consider that my background fabric.). I did make one with every square scrappy and it was too much. You couldn't pick out the design.

You can work with three, but get a little more texture without going scrappy if you maintain the color scheme and print size but vary the outside blocks a little. 3 per block but then do blocks with two outside fabrics being similar/just a bit different

i don't understand the 3 is minimum.? i used 2 different fabrics.. for each block, just like a regular 9 patch before cutting. made a whole quilt like that, then i did one like pictured below..still 2 fabrics, for each block.
then i have done the scrappy one..looks so totally different..but i do keep the center block in in the 9 patch the same in the each one..
