After looking at the inspiration I immediately had the idea to create a large cross using stitching and then went about filling the quadrants. I balanced the layout by filling two opposite sides with “equal” weight of photos and then the other two quadrants are “lighter” but also equal in weight. It’s a pretty simple layout but took me a while to get everything placed how I wanted it.
