First: I love the quilt whether in this configuration or whatever you do choose - it's very 'happy' to my eyes, and sweet. Good for you for using up the scraps!
Second: It's really funny, I was doing a log cabin (tiny thing in my avatar) and I actually put a block in, in the *wrong* direction because in my mind I didn't want to have the 2 matching fabrics near each other. Eventually I had to rip it out because well, it WAS in the wrong direction, ha! I've got the same issues with my 'eye' for which fabric must live where...just have to swallow and eventually get it done I guess! I never reach the perfection levels I hold in my head.
I hope you still have fun completing this one, and enjoy it when it's done!
