I will cut out a lot of pieces, alll the same size....decide which ones I want in a particular quilt, then arrange them on my extra bed (sothey can be left there).....then if i get 2 of the same print next to each other, or all my yellows in 1 corner, i can rearrange them, i hate it when all my reds are in 1 spot! . i did one with all fall colors that turned out so pretty, then another with red, white and blue patriotic theme.
