Edited to say- I see from Ninnie's post on buggy wheels that it is just lights and darks, so I guess that answers my question. I am just amazed that something so random can produce something so harmonious and easy on the eye. Did you really not have to plan it any more than that?!!!
Bless Ninnie's generous posting on Buggy Wheels! I just went by her photos, guessed at the 2.5" piece sizing, and plunged in.

I did lay out each Buggy Wheels block, one row at a time, according to a picture of Ninnie's that I'd printed in color from the computer because the design relies on the placement of the light sections pointing in the right direction.

That's a great quilt and a great way to use scraps.

All I can say is WOW. I can't imagine quilting something with all those seams on both sides!
