    I think using just 3 colors the block appears to float.

    I like these with three colors. I have a special fabric that it might work with quite well. Thank you for asking the question.

    I like the ones with 3 fabrics. I'm getting ready to make one with 5 fabric with pinwheels. Here is the website of the patteren in case anyone is interested.

    Do a search on here for -"black, white and turquoise" lovely D9P. My friend just started a D9P with one med size print and two small coordinating prints - looks really cute!

    Some very pretty 3 color D9Ps have been shown here.

    I like using just three fabrics for a D9P, though I tend to make my first border a different color. Here are three pictures. The first two are cat-sized for my mother's cat, but the last is a twin size. In each I used a focus fabric that was one directional, but once I figured out how to do that, the rest was pretty easy. Hope this helps....
