That is the question. Do I leave my stacked coins project gingham quilt as is, or do I chop it up into blocks, rearrange and create something more complex?
I'd love some input to help me decide.
Basically, I have a finished, king-sized stacked coins quilt (upper left photo) that I can either
A) leave as is and baste, quilt then bind or
B) chop up into blocks per cutting diagram (upper right photo) leaving me with two different types of blocks which could then be turned into two different quilts or layouts (ex: bottom two photos).
The diagram on the upper right is just a paper mock-up I made in paint on the computer, which I cut up and used to create those layouts pictured in the bottom two photos. As of right now, the top is still in tact and I'm just feeling out my options.
The
lazy practical side of me says
leave it alone and call it good. Why bother? It's pretty the way it is. The mad scientist side of me says
chop away and experiment. Knowing I
could do something more with it drives me crazy and I think it would be fun (or painful, who knows?!) to play around some more.
Am I insane for even considering such a ludicrous thing to do to a quilt?
Feel free to talk me out of it. I've got plenty of other projects to work on, regardless.
