There is a gal on this board that makes prettier ones! The web site one they didn't make the small squares stand out and had odd dark ones here and there - I personally don't care for the no pattern look. The gal on this board recommends making all four corners either dark or light and make the center square a color that will show up the small squares that are created from the center square. Sorry I can't remember who it is, but you could do a search on this board for D9P and see some that have been done and see the differences. I mentioned these suggestions to a friend and she made two outstanding D9P. Just my thoughts.
