Trial layout

This is one of the trial layouts - I included an old leaf - the dark one - and some new leaves. The blocks are all the same height, but different widths. This didn't give me quite enough variety, so I kept working on it. I have a design wall - it is a panel covered in flannel to which I can pin prints or fabric.

I left it up there and looked at it from time to time while being busy with other things. Then I'd find some more images, crop, size and print them and shuffle them around some more.

Eventually I settled on 3 rows. Along the way, I used the option to "flip" or create a mirror image in order to have a flower facing left rather than right if that seemed to balance the overall design better.
