Yooper ... Thanks too! As for flowing, it was outright agonizing!!!

GGal mentioned the importance of a design wall. I SO agree!!!

........ when doing both the FWS and PC I kept my blocks on the wall all the time, to help keep me inspired and motivated, PLUS it gave me a clear reference when choosing fabrics. Did I need more red? Too much red? What did I need to add in to balance the colour mix? Believe me, there were times that all I saw was a dog's breakfast! Then the next agonizing time was when I was deciding final placement and moving the blocks around and around and around til I was ready to get them to flow (as Yooper mentioned) and finally to sew them all together.

And yes, I have all my DJ blocks on a wall by themselves. At least with it, I have kept to one colour mix (all blues!). Though I know the agony will come when I work on the final placement!!! Long ways away for that though!
