Many! I am working on a full size and each block calls for seven different fabrics to make it pop. I have seven different blocks done and although there are some duplicates, there are no duplicates in the same location on any two. By the time this one is finished it will have at least 100 different fabrics. Unlike petthefabric, I call mine scrappy! (But I see what you mean- when it is very controlled its just a pattern with lots of fabrics- yours is fantastically beautiful!)
For scrappies without a complex block, just keep adding them in! My daughter has ordered a blue scrappy, just squares. We have about 35 blues so far and it is nowhere near enough, so she asked me to add greens and purples too :-)
