Thinking Outside the Block Quilt
I am thinking about making this quilt for my adult son. I like the pattern at 6 blocks across and 6 blocks down. However, I would want the quilt to be larger than 60" x 60". Wondering if any of you have made this quilt using 3" finished strips?
For those Members who do not know this quilt, it is made with 1/2 Log Cabin blocks set in such a way that they appear to be floating on top of each other.
The example that I have looked at (and like) appears to have 2" finished strips. Do you believe that 3" finished strips would be too wide?
Thank you for your help.

here's a link to reference the quilt https://www.quilterswarehouse.com/th...quilt-pattern/
the pattern comes in sizes from runner to king, so making yours larger than 60x60 is definitely doable. i have never made this quilt, but it is on my list

I do not think that adjusting the size of the strips will take away from the pattern. The layout and fabric choice really make the quilt.
Isn't there always a but....
When I made the quilt for my niece, I used 6 colours, with 2 1/2 inch strips (2 inch finished). The pattern results in a square quilt, but she wanted it rectangular. I just made more blocks and arranged them as if the pattern was continuing on outwards.
