My layout is below. Colors do not reflect my scrappy quilt - just for illustration purposes. The layout required 16 shoo-fly blocks - 7 more than the on point layout; 61 double nine-patches - that's 4 less that the on-point; and 22 each X and O applique blocks - that's 4 extra applique blocks, all O-type. I hope to put up my design wall this weekend and show the updated colors. The change is subtle, but that's all I was looking for.

Diane Ross,
I really like the modified layout you came up with. Especially the balanced look of having the shoo fly blocks two in a row and then one in the next, but separating the
the look of the two by having the single in the middle of the row. I was already planning on a horizontal layout, but I think I will be making more shoo fly blocks too. Thanks for the great ideas.

I was able to put up my design "wall" today, and try my planned layout. It's not wide enough to layout the entire width of the quilt, but good for a trial. I like the added shoo-fly blocks, they add a splash of color and I tried to use more medium value and bright colors on the additional blocks.
I also used more medium value and bright colors in my applique blocks this month. Below are June's blocks, plus two extra O-type blocks I'll need for this layout. Thanks, HelenW for the suggestion to use the O-type blocks to add more color to the quilt.
Finally, I made 8 extra shoo-fly blocks and some spacers so I could have a bit of a detail on the back of the quilt. I like to include an element from the front on the back - it makes a nice touch when you turn down the bed. It also let me use my darkest shoo-fly blocks on the back. They're handsome blocks up close, but don't work as well on the front. It also lets me use more colorful ones on the front.

Diane Ross, I love the idea of putting some interest on the back. And it is a great way, to use those blocks that end up with a remake because the colors were not exactly
the way you envisioned they would look with the other front blocks. Using the block where the turn down on a bed is another great idea. Love the way your
creative mind works. You do beautiful stitching too. Thanks for sharing your progress. It seems like I am constantly adapting the quilt in progress by all the
great ideas that are shared on the forum. Your quilt is looking beautiful.

Diane, Your quilt looks great. I haven't completely made up my mind yet, but I'm thinking of making a smaller quilt. I laid my completed blocks on point and I really like the overall look. I realized looking at the picture later I had not paid attention to layout of the "X's" and "O's". I want them on point because I want to use the inset triangle as part of the border. I'm going to continue making the applique blocks but may use for a second smaller quilt. I do have two granddaughters. 12 Month of blocks makes a very large quilt!
And I finally put a border on my 2008 BOM Bouquet for a New Day and as soon as the backing fabric arrives I will start quilting.
