I am wondering if I do do the d9p should I use the same colour for the middle patch that is cut through , I would have to use additional fabric, or not, if so would a sharp contrast say black be too much.
Thank you in advance for your help

IMHO, if you are using civil war fabrics, you should probably use a civil war era pattern. There many out there and a lot of them would be suitable for a beginning quilter. Just Google civil war quilt patterns and you should find something in you skill level. Just sayin.....
