What I can't figure out is how to arrange the different coloured blocks in a larger format to make a quilt - how to I lay them out to showcase the dark blue, the light blue, the dark brown and the caramel colours.

Scissor Queen - I love the blocks more now I have seen them at arm's length in the photo. I was getting tired of flying geese today.I have about 32 blocks done in total, and need to do more, but want to settle on a layout so I know how many more of each colour I need to do.

Looking forward to any ideas, any and all suggestions appreciated!
Ahhh, yes, that design dilemma. I'd just play with them. You can run the colors in diagonals, alternate two colors in a row, start with four of the same in the center, then rounds of each color. There's probably another half dozen ideas for arrangements I have thought of yet.
