I would prefer all 1 color, but I want to break out of my box a little bit and try something pieced.
Keep in mind that I am a novice. I hope not mistaken.
If you do three strips: 1-blue floral 2-yellow 3-blue floral in that order.
You should consider the surplus at the edges, so you should use 1 1-27-27 2-10 and 3-27, with that completed the 64 x 64 I was talking about.
I hope you understand (I use a translator to communicate).
A hug!
