    Well after all my excitement it has taken me months to get everything taken care of and get myself organized to make a quilt or two for the new grandbaby. September 15 is looming!
    I am basing the quilt on the pattern Modern Mix at allpeoplequilt.com. Yes I have too much fabric for a crib quilt so I figure I'll end up with something to donate too. (Or something to keep here!)
    Pattern instructions say to sort material into 5 groups of four matching dark and light colors.
    1. Should I just eye up my groups? OR
    2. Be very "organized" about it?
    I'm afraid if I think too much I'll lose the random funky look I'm going for.
    When I get a moment I will attach a picture of my fabric choices.
    Thanks for any guidance you can give me.

    How do you work best?
    If you want random funky, maybe you should go with your 1st choice.

    I checked out the pattern. I think you will drive yourself crazy if you try to organize your fabric layout!
    Looking forward to seeing it complete!
