The plan is this: to use the crosses that I liked from the piece I've just finished and find a way to combine them with some more of my octagon blocks. I don't want to make more octagons, but there has to be a way to use up the ones I've got that feels satisfactory. I'm adding a couple of extra shirts to the ones I had originally pulled and also added some of the scraps from the last top, mostly orange bits and pieces.
Maybe something like this?
I don't know how these will fit together, but I like them well enough, so I'll keep going and see what happens.

It's good to use up those bits so you don't feel guilty about the time you had spent on them.
It looks like your having fun and using things up in the process
Win Win.
I like where this is headed, and I really like the pocket in the center of the first grouping!
This looking fun already - the shirt pocket centre of the first layout is something I would never have thought of but a great idea. Waiting now for your next post to see progress!
I'm not sure whether the grays were in the first pull, but I really like them beside the octagon. I think you'll need more of the oranges. They give pops of color that create drama. This one if off to a great start.
I like your color choices. Using clothing to make quilts changes the colors tremendously. The ones we wear are significantly different from quilt store offerings.
The pocket is fun. I used to put them in t-shirt quilts so kids could add something or have a place to "store" something. Especially if they have a flap or button closure. Enjoy.
The 'What if' stage, very exciting. I've got a few of those happening right now.
Walks in the garden always help....
