Retro Rib Sock and Delaney's Snow Puzzle

Here it is, finally, the Retro Rib Sock (first of the pair).
And today I finally finished stitching down the curved bias edges of all of the blocks for Delaney's Snow Puzzle. Now I just have to figure out how I want to arrange them. Should I just let it be random? Should I somehow arrange them by value? By color? Suggestions anyone? Here is exactly one quarter of all of the blocks - one of each color - 33 in all (132 blocks for the quilt). This is kind of just a random order on the design wall.

Well, I know thismuch about quilting, but I would say darks to lights starting in a corner. Darker snow on the bottom, lighter - top.
That's my sad little made-one-quilt-in-my-entire-life thought. :o)
It's beautiful.

I've never completed a quilt in my life, but for a layout scheme, I agree with Michelle, darker on bottom gradiating to lighter on top. Or, maybe a layout similar to the Nova cross stitch you did, light in the upper left corner moving down to dark in the lower right corner.
I looked back at your Nova stitching to make sure I remembered it correctly and I can't believe you finished that in 2005! You hadn't finished it when I started reading your blog, so that means I've been reading you for over 4 years!! Time flies when you live vicariously through other's accomplishments. :D And you have had so many accomplishments through the years. You're amazing!
