Did hubby eat his words after you were finished? It is really an eye catcher.

For the most part the pieces looked like this that I pulled from.

and a large bag of 1.5" strips that looks like this:

I did cut a few of the strips from new fabric just to provide a bit of variety. Also, I had to use a few larger pieces to cut the pieces that are 2.5"x3.5" and the ones that are 3.5"x5.5"--I have quite a few misc. pieces in this color scheme and they are in my plastic boxes of tans/whites/yellows/browns.
