Plaid #8 Progress

I think I have made a decision.... but then again... I may change my mind - after all it is a Quilters Prerogative to change our minds right???

I had all my Plaid #8 16 patch blocks done...

Since I used strips/yardage instead of Fat Quarters I had a few strips left over after making the 16 patches.   And I, being one to never  ( NEVER) waste fabric thought... I could make a few more 16 patch blocks.... and so I did....

And now I have:

I have hemmed and hawed, and asked everyone for their opinion ( btw - my boys? NO HELP THIS TIME) . I have stared at it, walked away.... and finally come to the conclusion - that I am going to stitch it together this way - including the scrappy blocks.

It makes the quilt bigger, uses up my extras, and .... well - it's a bigger quilt.... more to snuggle in right?

This is what  my boys did when I asked their opinion..... they ran and ran and ran.... away from me *sigh*
