Mariah, I used the Disappearing 9 Patch for my granddaughter's first quilt and she loves it still. She was 5 at the time and is 11 now.
I used scrappy blends of flower and butterfly fabrics with some tone on tones and blenders thrown in for the squares that get sliced up. I called it "Olivia's Butterfly Garden". Lots of pinks, purples, blues, aquas, and less of yellows. Greens in leaves etc make nice highlights.
D9P is pretty fast and easy too. I used 5" squares for mine.
