Yes, Darren, thanks, this does make sense. I will be starting the purple quilt as soon as I sandwich and quilt another charity quilt top I just finished. And laying out the strips really will give me an idea of where I am going. Purple is my favorite color and this quilt will be for me. I don't want to make it and then decide I wish I had done it differently.

Thanks again!
