Sometimes there's some organization to it ... in the first photo, you'll see butterflies that were fussy-cut from the main fabric on the front. The horizontal row of pieced butterflies were extras from what was also used on the front.
Sometimes I just put pieces together, scrappy like ... the second photo shows one where I just started adding pieces of the leftovers. To be sure to keep the backing flat, I stop and squared after every addition.
Both work ... depending on the look you want!
