I use a free program called PhotoScape. It has a feature where you can combine photos. Just indicate how many columns you want and drag in the photos.
I usually try to make a half-square triangle for each fabric as soon as I complete each block. Sometimes I cannot use the same fabric I added if there is not enough dark/light contrast. Not only must each half-square triangle have contrast, but your dark must also read as dark against the other fabrics you add in other blocks. Thus I could not use the fabrics in Ahru's block because both of then were light.
