I have made a lot of rag quilts. I would simply fussy cut the squares so that each one had a shoe in it. If that would make the square too small, remember, rag quilts don't have to be done in squares. You can do them in rectangles so you would have 2 shoes in it or larger squares with 4 shoes in it. It is difficult to determine the size of the print from the picture. Then alternate the colors in the shoes, teal, purple, hot pink, zebra stripe every other one. I think it will turn out great. Except for the zebra stripe, I would use solids or batiks/blender fabrics. Looking forward to seeing this great quilt.
