Working on Tumbler QOV

On the 17th of January, I picked up a large plastic bag of pre-cut tumblers for a Quilt of Valor.  I decided to make the quilt with 14 tumbler patches across and 12 rows down for a total of 168 tumblers.  It measures 60" across x 65" down.  I'm guessing it probably needs one more row, so it won't be so close to a square.
By adding one more row, it should be 60" x 71".
So excited this evening, thinking I was done with the top.  I won't be totally happy until I add one more row to the bottom.  Now, to find more red fabric for 5 more red tumblers.  I have plenty of white & blue.  

It is now Jan. 30th, and I just finished trimming the sides & hanging the top on my design wall for a picture.
My design idea was to have all the white/cream blocks run diagonally down the quilt, and the blue and red to follow the same idea.  Since it's all scrappy, the diagonal lines are not as pronounced but it is definitely RED, WHITE & BLUE.
