Thank you! My scraps are organized by color…1st step, I went through each main color and used one fabric scrap of some of the fabric scraps..picking different shades of values etc. This got me 250 blocks. Then, I sorted those blocks by color and value and pulled more scraps to fill in the different shades of each color. I dislike brown so I only made about 10 shades of browns…. Then, based on the size, I added more blocks to colors I wanted more of (teal etc.) until I reached 440. Every color is represented, I think..soft colors like, peach and pink were added in the end to help with the transitions from light to dark. You really can’t go wrong as long as you keep color value in your minds eye…
