Here s the first layout ... I have extra blocks ... those are shown in the second picture ...

Not a fan of this layout, too blah!

Going to work on the next one!

Extra blocks are on the sides

I might try dark to light from the middle outward, like fireworks .

That's what I am working on right now ... there's just a lot of blocks LOL and it takes me at least 45 minutes to do a new layout ... and to top it off, I have my parrot sitting on my head trying to grab them!

I tried light to dark, on a diagonal ...

By golly I think I have the layout! It's off kilter because I started in the top left and bottom right at the same time. I noticed that I had a lot of doubles, so I tried to mirror image them as much as possible

Thoughts?

I really like the light to dark, upper left light lower right dark. Any layout will be beautiful!!!

I love your blocks. However you decide the layout it is going to be awesome.

It’s going to be a stunning OBW but I did like your arrangement in post #15. Looks like a fun project.

I like post #15 layout the best. Stunning blocks by the way.

I too lean toward the #15 post. What a gorgeous quilt this will be.
