That's my thought also. Love the fabrics. If you do a DP9, you would need the brown/taupe for contrast. I would add a 4th fabric, use the floral as a border. Here are a couple of pics that show what happens when there's not enough contrast. I love the look of the quilt and the fabrics, but it doesn't work for me. Love the border treatment.
