Enough of my whining.......
    I used two silverware plastic trays. You know the ones with the different sections. Used one for lights and one for darks. I put each size strip in the different sections. I am a bit of an organizational freak. When I had my different shirt pieces on my cutting table, I picked one up from each stack, alternating the order so that when I went to sew I didn't have to stir through the piles to pick the next strip. My goal was to have no two the same in each block. It worked most of the time. I worked on ten at a time. I kept the trays next to my sewing table and sewed a strip to the previous round as leader and enders. When I got those ten done (the round that I was on), I would trim. It kept me from being overwhelmed with the whole project. 10 at a time in whatever part of the construction was much easier to accomplish than the thought of all 56 of them. This is not a complicated block, but I agree it is time consuming but worth the results.

    Love your quilt, you did a great job! Scrappy quilts are my favorites. Have you tried making a log cabin from scraps? I just made one in the spring and just love it. See the photo of my log cabin under my name.

    I want to see a bigger picture. Did you post it in a thread. I too love scrappy quilts. I love the mix of colors in scrappy, but tend to choose my fabrics to blend. Your picture looks great but would love to see it bigger.
