I used 4 different black and white prints with a yellow center, I had to really decide how I wanted the finished quilt to look when I decided to make this quilt, I draw out my block ideas, then color them in with colored pencils to check out my ideas, or you can make a sample to figure it out, I will post my finished quilt picture soon, I like doing the D9 patchwork, but I had lay out the blocks to be sure I didn'y turn them upside down
