I like the D9P idea with the black center and the alternating colors.

why not make it easy on yourself, cut at 3.5 nches, each finishes at 3 and your 9 patch becomes a 9 inch block?

I prefer 5in. Squares. But you can do whatever size you want. I think for a D9P the bigger square are best, seems to show off the colors better to me.

I'd go with pinwheels or Ohio star pattern.

I bought the same fabric to do a pinwheel also the friendship star. The background could be white and border with the black. Use the one square cut in 4 and it makes up easy.
