I like the 2nd one. The 1st one hurts my eyes.

I think I like the second, but it would depend on how big I wanted the finished quilt.

It is going to be great.

Didn't mean to hurt your eyes!!!!!! :lol: :lol:

There is supposed to be around 150 at the reunion so I need a lot of room for signing. (Mom is the last of 10 children and some of her sisters and brothers had anywhere from 3 to 10 children....then you start counting grands and greats....)
I guess I should "do the math" which is probably the smart thing to do and figure the borders between the strips evenly and then they would probably be somewhat smaller but still big enough to sign in. I guess I have made up my mind then.

The "coins" are cut to eight inches before sewing so I will make the outer border 7 1/2"?
