    I slightly prefer the overall square one for this particular quilt, but if I were receiving it as a mom with a baby, I would want it crib size to grow with baby and to cover up mommy and baby when snuggling in a rocker. But either way they look good, honestly.

    I prefer the first one. I just the over all scale of the components better.

    I like the rectangles. But it's lovely, regardless!

    I'm for even. I like the symmetry, and if they decide to use it as a wallhanging (they might, many would!) square will work better.

    But both look lovely, so go with your gut...

    As usual, the replies to these questions are all over. I prefer the rectangle, too. I think it can be used longer.

    Ditto. I would go square.

    I've made quilts with uneven sides but if given the choice I vote for the even quilt this time, but it's your quilt and you have the last say! how's that for being political correct!
