    The numbers are laid out that way simply to help you spread the small sew-on pieces out in a pleasing manner, so you don't have the same pictures next to each other or close. It's a function of how the little pockets are printed. There are no rules about what goes where. If you are working with a child to sew on one a day, it might be fun for the child to locate where the next one is supposed to go, as well. The small pieces are correspondingly numbered.
    Since I have it here, will use it. Thanks for all of the suggestions.

    But where they go is really up to you. Lay them out in a configuration that pleases YOU! :-)

    BTW, Cindy finished this year's Advent calendar and had a lot of fun with it. She did some trapunto work around the figures at the top, and did a little embellishing as well as batting the pockets. It came out really nice.

    Here are a couple pictures of it, backed and finished:

    OMG I just bought a few of those for Christmas gifts, they are the most beautiful Advent Calendar I have ever seen.
