Sometimes you just got to go ahead and as Gibbs would say....Go with your gut! I find if I look at photos of layouts, it really helps me make the decision. Seems that I can see the effect of the entire design better. Plus they are helpful when I need to put the pieces back where I placed them to begin with. No matter what you decide, it is going to be a fabulous quilt. I am really looking forward to seeing your final decision.
