Quiltalong - 2022

Ok quilty friends, I’ve sewn a couple quilts from kits but never designed one so I could use some help. I got lots of gorgeous 2.5” squares in the Scrap Swap and want to make them into a (simple-ish) wall hanging.

I’m thinking to sew them in strips into a rectangle shape and maybe put sashing (I think that’s the right word?) around the outside before adding the binding. I was originally thinking a light sashing fabric but now I’m wondering if something like a navy would work better? Although lots of the blocks are darkish so it might blend in too much.

I originally thought I wanted to do them in rough color order but now I’m kind of liking them more random.

Any thoughts? Things I haven’t considered? Tips for laying out so many different patterns? Help :slight_smile:
