In my last post, I said I wasn’t entirely happy with my finished quilt top, and that I was going to chop it into 6″ squares. Once I made that decision, I quickly cut a couple of squares, so I couldn’t change my mind later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I expected, when I posted the photo below on social media, some people agreed that was a good idea, and others said I should have left it intact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday, I finished cutting it up. The pieces are mostly 6 inch squares. A few are bigger and some are smaller, because I fussy-cut some of the squares and then had some in-between pieces. I pinned the pieces on my design wall as I cut them, and here’s what it looks like now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like this a lot more! I’m going to re-arrange the blocks a few more times before coming to a final decision. I will likely cut some of the pieces even smaller and I’ll probably add some skinny strips. I may make this into 2 smaller quilts, which will allow me to explore a variety of design ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
