Leaf Quilt

I saw a picture in a quilt catalog for a kit to make a twin sized quilt which looked like scattered leaves. I thought I could do that in a queen size without a pattern. The hard part was arranging the nine-patch leaves in such a manner as to look scattered. I did it by gluing leaf shapes on graph paper. However I didn't realize the difficulty in putting together squares that were not in line but were scattered.  I laid out the original design on the floor but went back to my graph paper and tried to figure out how to put them together. Note the dark lines and the numbers. I am going on a quilt retreat next weekend but I am not sure how to  take all this information with me.
