I have a UFO of many scrappy houses that has been waiting, and waiting. I got stumped on what to do with them and so it has sat. I have vowed it WILL get made this year, probably into two lap quilts.

I don't know how many times I moved those blocks around, and around, and around on my display wall! It took forever to get them into the final format! I would think it was perfect and walk out of the room. When I went back in, I would see something I did not like, then start moving them again.

NickyLSF ... I'm kind of hoping your houses will inspire mine! First though, the FWS!
Honchey ... I felt the vibes!
JeanieG ... I know exactly what you mean, though I think I'm pretty darned near there. And then you get it moved for the "reason" and discover you've upset the apple cart by creating a new problem with where it's sitting!!
A colleague was here today and I coerced them to help work on it together (for an hour) before we set to work (the paying stuff!). I thought I was almost there before they came ... then not. Now though, I think I am pretty darned near there!
Sooooooooooooooon for your eyes!

And now.............. here it is!
Seriously, Ladies, please give it that critical eye, and make suggestions as to any that should be moved.
I've tried to keep similar block styles apart, and colours spread out ..... you know all about it!
Fresh eyes are good at this point ... and I might see it differently too, now that I've got it pictured!
(and they're still easy to move)

What a delight! Love how you put the 4 checkerboards in the corners. When I saw the first one come up (slow internet tonight), I just knew where the other 3 would be; and of course Maple leaf in the center.
What I would do is:
1. 2nd row far right, the purple and gold Sawtooth; give it a flip so the purple is on the bottom.
2. 10th row toward the right, the rose and green Rainbow Flowers; give it a flip, too, either way with the square on top or bottom.
Just MHO. Wonderful sashes and cornerstones. Okay should go sew my blocks now. Haven't picked out fabrics yet!
