I want to do an Eleanor Burns Quick Quarter Quilt using a rose floral theme (see these links I found online of the pattern):

I have 8 prints each of 3 color families (a total of 24 fabrics) –pink, lavender and blue. Of the 8 prints of each color family, 3 prints have a similar colored background (blue background with blue roses, etc.) while the other 5 have white backgrounds. The prints vary in scale from large floral to tiny floral.
I am wondering if I should group together 3 to 4 of the same color family and then progress in to the next color group or should I separate the colors (when looking at the quilt and seeing the vertical progression of fabrics, something like pink, lavender, blue, pink, lavender, blue, etc.). This is so hard to visualize without actually sewing it and to even begin to sew this quilt, you have to have placement planned out first.
