Strips and Curves

My strata was 120 strips wide.  I had to coax myself to start cutting.  By looking at the strata's in the book I thought my 120 wide strata would make a huge quilt.  Not so.  There's lots of waste cutting on the bias and cutting quarter pie shapes and their counterpart.  I didn't really have it thought out as to how it was going to work, light and dark, different colors.  I mostly tried to put opposites together for contrast.
Now I have to decide the layout and nothing seems to be jumping out at me.

Strips and Curves?

Here's my 'strata'.  It's longer than my design wall so it's not flat up against the wall, it bubbles out in about 8 places.
Now I'm too chicken to start cutting.  I've been practicing machine quilting on scraps in the mean time.
