Default need opinions for this comfort quilt:

I made these 9 patches with making a D9P my intention. But now that I'm ready to cut them, I laid them out first and kinda like the way they look as a 9P.
My main reluctance to leave them as a 9P is that I cut the squares at 5.5" and I'm thinking that's pretty big squares for a lap quilt 9 patch.
It should finish at about 50" square. If cut for the D9P, the squares will mostly be smaller so more fitting for a smaller quilt, I'm thinking.

What do you all think? I need to decide by Weds. so I can keep going on it.

I like it the way it is, and I don't think 50" is too large at all for a lap quilt. Heck, I think I've made baby quilts that big. And I'm not from Texas, in case that's what you're thinkin'.

I think it looks great as is. I don't think the squares are too big at all.

I don't think the squares are too big, and it's cute as it is. I would call it good, quilt it, and go on to the next project.

I like the placement of the colors and prints. I like it as a Nine patch which is one of my favorite blocks. But, it would also look very nice and very different as a DP9. I think it would look busier. Either way, I would like it!
