I also like colored backgrounds, especially bright light colors. If I had your fabrics, I would probably use a pistacchio green or a banana yellow, with a sparkle of that beautiful red-orange (in cornerstones for the sashing or a thin inner border).
Lourixe - this might work! I have never done a D9P but you said to put the prints in the corners so they wouldn't be cut ... and that is what I am looking for..to keep the flower charms full size, Oh, wait.... I have 4 of each charm print... and I have 5 charm prints...so that would only allow me to make 5 D9P's.... any suggestions on how I can expand the quilt with the solids?
