I, too, only saw one photo, so my comment refers to that one.
I have made a lot of D9P, but never thought of sewing the original fabrics back together such as you are showing. That is a very interesting idea. Adding that pop of red into each square makes the quilt very unique.
I would turn the top ones so that the pattern is consistent throughout your quilt.
My favorites are usually controlled scrappy like yours, using lots of different fabrics but controlling the colors. There are so many layouts to choose from, you can make many and never repeat yourself!
