I spent quite abit of time sorting all the fabrics into colours, density of patterns etc. then arranged each nine patch with five stronger denser patterned squares and four lighter squares...the biggest challenge was arranging the finished blocks to make sure the same fabrics didn't end up together, I think there are only two touching...thank god for a big piece of flannel pinned to the wall. saved my back I can tell you, swap, oh no...clash...swap this one for that one....duh!!!! :oops: :roll: :lol:
