I think either one of those would look good done like that. If I were going to make (this is just me!!!) I would piece the block, cut my batting the same size as the block, cut the backing 2 inches larger and center the block and batting on top of the backing and the quilt thru the three layers. After getting a row done, sew each of the backings together, turn over the edges and top stitch down. Try one and see what happens! I wold love to see it!
