I hope that this discussion hasn;t taken you away from making these lovely blocks.
Though sometimes, we need a little time in the midst to think of what;s next!
OKSGlad is right ... You might want to think about the period that the quilt is from and make it according to what was the norm. And too, what your Mom would have liked and/or done!
Yes, my Mom would have been the same ... all about practicality! Though remember the crazy quilts often had oodles of embellishments ... and often far from being practical!
So do what YOU want ... and I know your Mom would be cheering you on, to just have FUN with it!
