If I understand you correctly you have 9 fabrics you want to use in your quilt?
Here's what I'd do. Pick out 4 of the biggest boldest prints (a, b, c, d) Then look thru the remaining 5 and find the ONE (i)that best matches the 4 bold prints. That is the one I'd use for the center of the 9 patch. Then I'd pair up the remaining 4 with the 4 bold prints.(e, f, g, h)

Now to set together. Take "a" and use a square of it for each corner square in the 9 patch. Take "i" for the middle center square of each 9 patch. Now take "e" and use a square of it for the outside middle piece.
Then a 9 patch of "b", "f" and "i"
then a 9 patch of "c", "g" and "i"
then a 9 patch of "d", "h" and "i"

After they are cut there are several ways to rearrange them

How many do you need? What are you making?
