I picked up these fabrics to do the disappearing nine patch. I am wondering it I should use a solid color in the middle instead of a print. since the center will be the small square once cut up to the disappearing nine patch..thoughts...do I have to many prints...should I use a solid? The yellow beans seem to stand out...maybe that one should go to.

i think i would go with a solid...maybe dark brown?

Whatever you decide that is going be a great quilt. I like your theme.

Maybe do a test D9P block and see how it turns out.

Would use a solid for sure it will make your quilt pop!

A solid helps--I have made a lot of those lately!

Yes, I agree with the others, a solid would be a good idea!

this is harder than I thought...I agree a solid color for the center. Now which color and which one needs to go.....I love them all...

How about a solid blue since there are so many blues?

I found another fabric in my stash for the center...not solid but very small print. That should work, I think it will balance the colors.

In my opinion it needs another yellow fabric.

Love the coffee theme.

I searched and searched in my stash and no yellows... :( I have so many fabrics and don't dare buy anymore. My problem is that I have bought so many prints but not many solid colors...I am learning that I need to buy fabrics for a quilt in mind and not just buy because I like a fabric or that its on sale....its amazing how quickly the stash builds up. I need to get going and make some more quilts.
