    Default Layout assistance please!

    I'm trying to come up with a good layout for my version of the Three Dudes jelly roll quilt. Because my strip sets have such a huge difference in color it is a bit more challenging than I anticipated. Picture to follow

    That is nice but what about trying a zigzag? When I am trying out different layouts, I try to take photos too because that helps me make my decision and also helps remind me of what that decision was !

    Would it work to put one of the colors in the center and the other around the edges?

    I like it the way you have it--and the colors remind me of something tropical--nice for this winter blah weather!

    This is actually the layout that comes closest to doing that. It has the green half of all the outer blocks along the outside edges. Since each individual block is half and half each strip set it's a little more complicated.
