I think I am going to drive myself crazy trying to decide what size to do this quilt (among other things)!

Heres the deal, I am wanting to start a quilt for my husband I will attach a picture of the pattern I made below. He is a rather large guy so I want to make it really big for him. I can use 10.5 inches uneven log cabin blocks or I can use 14 inches uneven log cabin blocks! For the 10.5 inch block finshed logs would be two sizes 1.5 inches and .75 inch. For the 14 inch block finished logs would be 2 inches and 1 inch.

So my question is do I make 48 14 inch blocks or 63 10.5 inch blocks? I am so affraid that a 14 inch block is going to look big and distort the pattern, yet I am afraid the 10.5 inch block is going to be to small and look busy/messy with there being so many of them.

Anyways, opinions please
Thank you,
Danielle
