Opinions needed about Honor Flight Quilt sizing
[ATTACH=CONFIG]577120[/ATTACH]I recently began piecing a small quilt in preparation for distribution at the end of August to my local guild for the Honor Flight Program. I originally started with 6 1/2 inch blocks but scaled down to 5 1/2 when I made a speed error. My question is this: To obtain the right size, (36x36) approx, I will have to make about 7 rows. (8 will be too wide), no borders.(Quilt is perpendicular on board).
Do you think a quilt with an uneven amount of block rows looks odd? Should I just make 8 rows? They can be a little flexible on the size, but can't be too large since they are meant to be lap quilts on the flights.
Of course had I not made the error, the 6 1/2 's would have worked out perfectly! PS I will be fixing the mistake in row 3-another speed error!
Thanks in advance!
