PROGRESS!
Here's the final layout that I decided on. I decided to sort the fabrics by colors & then spin them out from the center starting with pink. That way the white/cream fabrics don't touch the off-white turtle squares & get lost.
After 8 long months of collecting & waiting...I am finally sewing the squares together!!! Wahoo! I now have about 3/4 of the top sewn. I am still missing 1 square (upper left corner area), but I asked what color it was so I could leave a space for it. I had to add 8 extra fabrics of my own to make the top symmetrical, which of course was NOT a problem with the fun stash of novelty prints that I have. :)It feels SO good to be able to start putting this quilt together instead of seeing it as a stack of pieces. I just MIGHT get it done before we leave...& that is a good feeling. :)
