being neutral continues to be a challenge

Thursday's progress

Friday's progress

Sunday's progress

 I won't be boring by posting the umpteen other arrangements. 

Maybe just use one color in the strips,

or perhaps stay totally neutral, like my original commitment,

 

or make many more multi-color strips to play with.  

Or rearrange all of the blocks, yet again.

Or better yet, slash all these blocks and then rearrange.
Oh yeah, at this point the measurements are approximately 50" x 60"
and I am shooting for a finished size of around 66" x 78" or lap size.
