Which Size is Best?

On Thursday we finished piecing the alternating blocks….

Now comes the magical part when you put the two blocks together and see what happens……

Doesn’t that look great??

BUT….do I really like the size?

I didn’t have a true plan for how big to make the quilt and as I looked at it, I felt that it was too wide and not long enough.

So, I made two more rows and sewed them on…….

Well heck….now it looks to long and narrow!!

It would be okay if I could have added one row, but I really like all of the corner blocks to be the same. THAT means that I have to add rows in sets of two!

I thought about it for a long time and ended up taking the two rows off again and will use them for the base of a smaller quilt that can be given to Charity.

After all, I have PLENTY of 2-inch scraps left…..

Tomorrow we will figure out how to border the quilt and get started on the smaller version.

It wont be long until I finish up these 2-inch scraps!!
