Default Layout for Greens Slice 'n Dice Blocks

Here is a picture of my first 6 blocks laid out on the floor. Notice that these are not Square. Beginning with 4 Greens (One DARK, 2 medium print, one LIGHT), all cut at 7 inches (height) x 6 inches (width). I stacked my 4 fabrics, then sliced vertically, then sliced horizontally. The result is the biggest piece is 4 3/4 x 4 1/4 inches. I was surprised at how difficult it is to stitch the pieces in the right order. (keep your seam ripper handy).

I've cut these sample blocks from stash, and am only beginning to incorporate my new Green Beauty FQs in, as I experiment to see how much the color pallette will expand. I want to work in more cream, and some blue, and go all the way to black on the dark side. Suggestions and comments are welcome. Rabbit here is keeping an eye on the clovers.
