Progress check at 13%

Here I am 13% of the way.  This is a sample layout I am working on.  Right now blocks 33 thru 48.  Eventually this will be 3 rows, or blocks 33 thru 80.  32 more to get to row 6!  The exciting part will be when I have rows 1-2 added to rows 3-5!  23 rows total, that will leave me with just 18 rows or 288 blocks to go!  Lol.

Give me your thoughts on some techniques or patterns I can explore next!
