My DDL brought me some Roy Rogers fabric & a BQ3 pattern to make a quilt for her mom. The thing I need help with is, the pattern is for 18" and 9" blocks.I would like to know which size is nicer looking. I have always admired that pattern, but don't remember seeing it made up.I would really appreciate some pros & cons for this, so I can decide.

If I am reading the pattern description here correctly:
http://www.mapleislandquilts.com/quiltpatterns.asp
the 18" blocks are used for all the quilts larger than crib or baby size. Only the two smallest quilts use the 9" blocks.

I have done both BQ and BQ2 and I changed the sizes of both of them. Even have made the blocks small enough for a table runner. You just need to keep the proportions the same. If you don't have access to a quilt program, just draft out the block in full size, then take it to a copy place and shirk it down to various sizes. See what is a simple and make a test block. GOOD LUCK !!!
