Monday Sewing - Crazy Quilt Block

The sewing group met today and all but 1 of the 5 girls had their quilt block ready.  Of course, of the 5 only 2 of us are real quilters.  One is a knitter, one is a rug hooker, and one likes crosstitch.  With that in mind, I suppose it is amazing that only 1 did not have her block.

I received Judy's block - which is above.  What do I do now?  How do you know where to start and what is the right direction to take.  In this case, Judy has added a decorative piece from a previous job.  I can move the piece anywhere on the block.  This is very exciting and yet so scarry.
