I'd like to bring the blue pile down a bit. Maybe I should think of doing red, white and blue plus quilt? Hum... thanks for the inspiration!

It's so weird how you can get stuck obsessing over a little thing like that.

I thought it just allowed more flexibility when it came time to lay out the quilt, and I could just move things around as I wanted, instead of having to worry about not having the right size for the edge, etc. These squares are 4 inches finished. Good luck with yours. Plus quilts are a lot of fun!<br /><br />:) KellyKelly @ My Quilt Infatuationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13383511246261347442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983525468027485560.post-13312359171134983882016-05-23T09:05:30.711-05:002016-05-23T09:05:30.711-05:00I did a scrappy Bonnie Hunter pattern in all cream...I did a scrappy Bonnie Hunter pattern in all creams as a wedding gift once.

I have a couple of questions that I'm trying to resolve in planning a plus quilt of my own--how did you decide between using five squares or using the rectangle and two squares method? Is there any advantage to one method over the other? Also you may have already said, but I would like to know the size of square you finally settled on. I am having a hard time vuisualling how different size squares will look in a finished quilt, even though I have cut sample plus blocks out in 3-4-and 5 inch sizes. I feel too undecided to go forward!! Thanks for any answers you have.
