Want your opinion on this quilt
#1
I am working on a UFO I started earlier this year and then abandoned. I had the block laid out originally 4 columns and 6 rows but that made it really long and narrow, I could do 4c by 5r. But to do 5c & 5r would require I make one more block. The center blocks were scraps from another quilt I made. I have a little bit of those fabrics but not in the strip sets, just 1/8 to 1/4 of a yards pieces or less. If I can remember correctly I wanted to add a border in the blue background print, that had small pinwheels placed in a sporadic manner along the border. These would be in the various fabrics found in the center blocks.

Just curious. But what is the quilt's purpose? Assuming the blocks are 12" finished in size, 4x6 would fit nicely on a twin bed as a topper. 5x5 would be better to snuggle under, while watching TV. So, it's all in what you intend to use the quilt for.

If you have pieces, you could easily cut the strips and make the color combinations for the pinwheels. I think it would bother me if the one was different from all the others in the center (particularly the red). But that's me.

I too was thinking about putting a different block in the very center of 5 x 5. Especially if you use scraps from the other blocks for it. An applique flower sound really nice, and you would only have to make one.
