Tweaking -

The layout of my Upstairs/Downstairs - Meredith top - ;))

First I tried grouping the same blocks together - diagonally -

Four for one "big block" with the other two as part of the next block -

OK - but I didn't like the big GREEN center in that one on the left -

So I moved some around -

And then some more -

I liked the strong PURPLE diagonal on this one -
But I didn't like the "rectangle" looking thing in the bottom left corner -

So I moved some more around again -

And moved the PURPLE diagonal down one row on this one -

But then I didn't like the top right corner -

So I moved some more -

And I didn't like that either -

So I moved some more -

But still didn't like that top right corner -

Then I moved some more -

And I think this is as good as it's going to get -

I have the PURPLE diagonals -
And the dark GREENs are spread out pretty well -

So I'm calling this the FINAL layout -

It will have one more column -
And two more rows -

So the final flimsy will look a bit different -
But it should be OK - ;))

Now I need to sketch out the block sequence -
And number the block sets -

Then web it together -

Maybe I can get the flimsy done for my post tomorrow -

In the meantime -

Here's another photo of my gorgeous PURPLE/LAVENDER roses -

This one is much more true in color - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
