Progress report: two rows done. Looked at them and have to rip out the first row. Off to a great start!

I agree with Scissor Queen. Go to the design wall and look at it a while, move them around untill you find the best look. Great start!

I love your blocks made with strips, I'm sure your quilt will be pretty. Look like you will be doing lots of quilts with your strips. The colors are very pretty also.

Google log cabin quilts and look at the different layouts. Look at any layout that is made of of half square triangles.
