I laid out the Minion top so that each across row has 1 each of the 5 motifs, and each down row has one repeat block. I was also looking at those big recognizable bird figures in the black floral, didn't want them touching beak.

It took me basically every inch of the fabric I had -- 2 yards each "large" florals, 1 yard each, grey, black, and Minons to get this 70x84" top. If I had one yard extra of each of them I could have done other things like add one more row across and bottom, or a border around all four sides.

I have one more variation on this in me I think -- but probably not for a year or so. Last year I did the Scrap Metal project using QST of all metallic embellished fabrics. I can see this concept done in those same scrap metals. That center "goose unit" would be scaled down smaller (Cherry Goose was 4", Minions was 5", Oasis as designed was 6") to 3" for the goose/6 inch for the blocks. Done I think as alternating squares of QST and Goose Units. That means I'm likely to have a K9 designation so time for one of my jokes and I will make sure I have a dog (canine) fabric for that block position.

I did cut the Horse with No Name project yesterday. It will definitely be a lap/crib size instead of the twin I had hoped for. Just don't have the fabric.
