I like the 41 x 47, but both are beautiful! Great job!

Longer is better, the child will grow.

You can't miss either way.

Gorgeous work! I like the 42" square. Like another member said, I'm a lover of symmetry.

I like the square one. The rectangular layout looks like it's crowding the center a bit.

Its your quilt...do what pleases you...Very pretty...

I'd go with the 42". That gives you a bit of leeway in case the quilting and/or washing it makes it shrink a bit.

Nicely Done

So, what have you decided since we were unanimous in our votes? Lol

the quilt is so pretty, I'd choose the square.
