I believe I had a total of 9 black/white prints, 1 b/w with a touch of red, and another just the red and white, and of course the solid dark red. I had to keep alternating the colors of the 9 patch so that is why it's so random of a pattern. I think it was way too many patterns although I do like the reds spattered in to break it the black and white a bit.
