About 3 yards no where near the amount recommended in the book

How much fabric depends on the length of the pattern repeat. Even two yards would be enough if the repeat was only 12" and the book clearly states this, if you mean One Block Wonders by Maxine Rosenthal.

yes, i think something between will let the design of each show up. otherwise, they will blend together and get lost.

What wonderful fabric! And look at the variety of motifs.. I have a OBW in progress and decided to put a solid color triangle between the motifs almost like on your design wall. I wanted each motif to stand out on its own. I also notice as with your motifs, they seem to fall into two categories - stars or circles, so I alternated them in the layout. As I cutthe last few motifs I had to arange the triangles in stars or circles, whatever was needed for the last row, even if that wasn't the best looking arrangement for those triangles. It was fun, fun, fun.. It is fun to have another person doing the same pattern and see how well theirs turns out. Yours is fantastic.
