My suggestion would be to go with more of a fabric contrast like the black/blue but then do different blocks with one consistent fabric in it..say like a black or a red to carry it out...a controlled scrappy look. Either way, looks like a great quilt for a guy/boy!

I like the one on right with black.
Of course you can use whatever you want in it, but in the end, it may look like a scrappy and not so much a DP4, that's all.
As long as you like it, all is good.

Oh, the second one, which I like a lot! In the first one, the prints get lost.

There is a tutorial on the Missouri Star Quilt Shop for a multi-colored D9P. It works up well for a scrappy.

Yes, I know, thank you. Love Missouri star Quilt shop! I was trying it with what I have. Trying it now much smaller and using what I had planned for my border now for my repeat solid instead of the white.
