But continuing reading of this thread has put me in mind of a year long Brown Bag Trade I did once with my Friendship group of 10 members. One of our parameters was that we could cut up the top we received (seriously!!!) and sew it back together.

I chose to do this with one quilt of vertical strips of flying geese -- it was a new quilter's piece and she felt if wasn't very well done because the geese in each vertical strip didn't line up with the geese in the adjoining strip.

Here is a graphic of how I cut it apart and put it back together. She loved it!
