It is looking great! I like to sew in rows. I press all the seam allowances one way on the first row and go the opposite direction on the next row. My seams can then nest together and I pin at all intersections.

I would divide into 16 units, and sew all pairs together, then into a 4-patch, then into 4-patch again , then the one big 4-patch, pressing seams so they nest together. I usually have a plan, which way I need to press my seams so they nest together nicely, before I start sewing. I like to cut the threads when string piecing, and arrange them between each set of chain piecing, using a leader and ender between each line of chain piecing.

I did mine in quadrants also.... But the 2x2 black plan may mke for better seam matching.

I sew in rows. No particular reason outside of that's how I read. Row 1, then 2 etc.

This is good. You now know, or have learned, how you best put things together. I'm a line sewer myself. Tried the quadrants, and I just couldn't make the concept work. Went back to the lines/rows, and I was back in my element, everything went together, matched, turned out square, lined up, all perfect. I ended up taking apart the section I did as a quadrant and putting it into lines, and that fixed the problem. I guess some of us work best in lines, some in quadrants, and I suppose some are revelling in this "quilt as you go" so they can do it a piece at a time. Whatever floats your boat!

I do a good deal of winging it anymore. Sometimes, right or wrong, you have to follow what is up in your head. Most times it works out well. I always keep in mind that there is not a known Quilt Police force and I can do what I want. Your block is very nice, by the way. And I am sure it will look great when you are finished.

Check out this site. It also gives dimensions for larger sizes.

Any way you sew it will be beautiful. Love the colors.

good morning. I like to stipple so I would probably stipple real small on the white. That really makes the dark pop out. cool effect try it on a sample piece. If you don't stipple, stitch in the ditch would be nice as well.
