That's what I was thinking too.

Thanks for explaining how you put the strips together. I admired the picture you posted a few days ago and wondered how it was done. I really like it. My choice is B

I like the right side better too, looks crisper., better definition.

I had that fabric. I think it was the late 1980's. I like the right side better but I agree that there's not much difference. Great looking block whichever side you decide to use.

It's definitely about that era and I remember it having made doll dresses, and lots of other crafts with it. There are some fabrics that stand the test of time and I think this is one of them.

I think I have that print in my stash. I worked for House of Fabric part time ONLY to get the 25% employee discount even on top of the 50% off when the calicos went on sale. I bought WAY TOO MUCH!!

I like it both ways. Whatever you choose it is going to be a beautiful quilt. I think the late eighty's into the ninety's for the age of the fabric. Back then we didn't have as much of a choice as we do today. When a fabric came out it was on the market for a much longer time than today. When you see something you like it is good to get it as it won't be out long then it is so hard to track it down.

I don't have any of that fabric. If I did I would be using a lot of it.
