3-patch Received

Hello again!
I've received 3 patch blocks from Cathy C, Janet S, Kathy S, Kristin, Lisa, Maree and Sophie. Just nine more to go from three lovely ladies. I've been playing with them and trying to figure out how I'm going to put it all together. I have a creative flaw in me - I don't do random very well. I need some kind of color or print order or pattern. Now don't laugh at me too hard, but I've got the blocks I've received in color order so I can see if there is some sort of order to the randomness. Here are six different possiblities and what I've received from each category: (top color, left color, right color)
Green, Blue, Purple (12);
Blue, Green, Purple (10);
Purple, Green, Blue (4);
Green, Purple, Blue (2);
Blue, Purple, Green (6); and
Purple, Blue, Green (5).
Out of the 39 blocks I've been trying to put them in a some sort of pattern, but not loving any of the layouts yet. There are so many variations of the individual colors.
I'm thinking I might add a black or a fun print in the spots of white are in the pictures. Any suggestions? They'd also be cute in a pillow or a bag too. ~sigh~ I'm sure I'll figure something out...
Y'all have a great week!

  1. It looks like you're having fun creating order from your scrappy blocks. I don't have a favorite layout or any suggestion for you except maybe to keep playing until one of the arrangements/color ideas speaks to you.
