I'm really looking forward to playing with the placement of the blocks for different affects and see which one I like best. I'm making this for the bed in our camper. I want to make it to be a spread that hangs over the edge, not just a quilt size. I am getting entirely toooo many scraps, so thought this'd be a nice way to use them up. I'm also going to do it as a QAYG project. That's another reason why I wanted to check with you all before I wasted time & supplies on that, if I really should tweak it before going on.
