I made one recently using 4 fabrics/colors. Main 9 patch was black and white and centers were half pink and the other half blue. May in Jersey

Mine is a scrap quilt using 4" squares
I held constant the center square to provide some unity. I just keep cutting and sewing. At some point I'll stop and assemble some tops and will post pictures.

I'm in charge of my Guild's Charity Day. We'll all be making Fractured 9-Patches, again using scraps, 5" squares, the center one all black solid. I've chosen and fussy-cut loads of fabrics suitable for boys, girls and adult women, ultimately bound for a local Women's Shelter.

I made one with scraps...but I used one main color(yellow) for 2 blocks in the 9. It caused continuity. Haven't finished it or I'd post a picture.

Well, i'm overwhelmed...thanks to everyone for all your ideas and pics...I have some thoughts about arranging now. I have so many combinations of blk/wt/red I could probably make two quilts and let him choose which one he likes the best.

I made one with a Figgy Pudding charm pack, and some extra yardage, using the same red in the center square, and the same white in the top, bottom and sides (the ones that get sliced up), so the charms themselves weren't sliced up. Turned out really pretty (sorry, don't have a picture!). Loved the continuity the red gave it.
