Design phase

i made some squares from a jelly roll some months ago. They are for a former coworker who is retiring in July.  (They weren't originally, but they are now).  And so I've been considering what to do with these lovelies.

I found fabric that will go nicely as the "neutral"

I tried this idea....

Used a spreadsheet function for graph paper!

And even this one made of post-its!

Knowing me, it will be something even different. I just like considering the options!
