Patchwork Quilt in the "making"

Winter gets a person into creating warm things.
And ya, wool quilts are warm.
This quilt when it is done  . .  consists of 800+  5" squares
each of which is made up of  approximately 9 squares.
The fabrics have been collected for many years, ( eg 30+)
of sewing.
There is a bit of "memories" in each square.
My goal is for it to be reminder of days gone by, plus
 serve a useful function. 

Scroll to the bottom picture and then up,  to see how
the mess of squares were rearranged to create 
a generally pleasing appearance (in my view).
 . . .  now on to sewing all the bits together, then adding
wool batting and "quilting" it.
 . . . .It may be quite a while to completion . . . 
will post once done.
