Definitely two quilts!

I looked at the big block and I think that if you do a smaller scrappy border around the outside it will really pull out the scrappy look of the center and downsize the plain-ness (how do you spell that? plainness?) of the current outside border.

Can't wait to see what you do!

Great Scrappy! I love both sides! I'd use the back for the front!

:D Thanks everyone for your imput, you know I appreciate all your thoughts :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

As part of the pattern (It was a fat quarter pattern) you cut a strip off each fat quarter (16 of them) to use for a scrappy binding, I am wondering whether to use these with the few scraps I have left to do another border on the big block, then use a plain fabric for the binding. My problem is shortage of fabrics, I have to be frugal and make do and mend, the navy blue polka dot on the wonky loggy wotsit was given to me last week, and was a double bed sized platform base valance, a good quality although a cot/poly blend, there will be enough for the back too!! :-

Love them both Izy, but the wonky log wotsit is my fave! I think the big blocks will be fine if you quilt the beejeepers out of the larger patches. I like your border idea - using the strips intended for the binding.

I like both of them also. I would leave them as two quilts.
