Welcome to the Quilting Board!
As long as I think I'm making this for my niece, the adventuresome mother, and she will just happen to use it as a baby quilt, I don't wince too much LOL
Yes I have to rearrange them a few more times so they aren't doubling up.
But the back blocks are assembled and I can't decide which layout to use. Off set or square?
Votes?

I kind of like the offset version better. Should be a great boy's quilt.

Once re-arranged so that there are no double ups I would go with the square version - it just seems to flow better to my eye.

I have to agree, the offset comes off to busy for my eyes.Originally Posted by busy fingers
Alas Its a girl. (Happy about the girl part)

But is she going to get a girl's name?
Or should we be ready for some offbeat name that we can't figure out what it is?
I like the very lineal look of the first set.
I don't like the offset version, the way you have it. If you shift the third set of blocks over to the right to continue the diagonal started with the first and second, it might work out and I might change my mind!
Did you find your Big Horn Sheep?
And you have me totally curious what you are going to put on the flip side ..... for the not-a-girly-or-baby quilt!

Girlie name? who knows. They're not saying.

I like the offset better. If it was me, I'd just have to slip a bit of pink onto the back. Or purple would work. Little girls seem to like both of those just as much.

Should that be "a lass", it's for a girl? I would have loved a quilt like this when I was small. I'd probably like one like it now...
A quilt is like a good life. It's full of mistakes, but, in the end, it looks pretty good.
Not the traditional baby quilt but if it was what Mommie to be wanted then that is all you need to care about is pleasing her.
A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort
