Thank you ladies. Here is another way I put them together, what do you think? Also, just ignore the blocks with the straight strips, I will change those out.
I can't believe how good these undesirables look once sewed together lol. I have burned through most of them and I am sure they will all be gone soon and I will have to add some from another bag lol.
This is such a totally different look and it look richer IMHO, I alternated the light and dark across the board instead of an all dark row and the all light row.
