I’m really enjoying everyone’s pictures and thoughts since the reveal. There are so many creative quilters doing this quilt but I’m not one of them. I only made half the units so putting them on point wasn’t going to work with Bonnie’s math. I’m not clever enough nor was I inclined to put them on point as I confess I like the straight layout better. I just need to decide on whether I want to use the green for binding.

I may be in the minority but think the green would be a fabulous binding color. It would really tie everything together. But whatever you chose, your quilt will look great. I love the birder/center print. Fabulous work!

Lovely stuff Janie/Jay!
I've decided on the "random" placement and will be finalizing my individual block locations today. Other than turning them the right ways, I am not concerned with where the butterfly blocks go, just where the flowers are.
Below is a scan of what I will be using to label my blocks with a diagonal set. It just happened that my favorite on-line graphing site had about a perfect layout for me to use

I love that website and use it several times a year for something or another.

JanieW, what a stunning backing fabric. My personal preference is the yellow with that fabric also, but either pink or yellow will be gorgeous.
I used up most of my pins pinning my sampler sashing pieces (which are now sitting as leader/enders), so I am forced to take a small batch approach to sewing my QST halves together. I think it is better that I approach this task with patience rather than a plow-through attitude, so I'm embracing the pin shortage.
