Looks like I'm veering to the second one but.......blow me down, I was snuffling through my fabrics and found seme stuff that if I use  "wrong side up" it will be a very close match to the fabric I don't have enough of to try the 2 options proper. So now I can happily make up enough of the blocks for either option and then more confidently make my choice :thumbsup: Thanks everyone!......and yeah, I'm still veering to number 2 0_0

.....and I'm ready to start basting. This moment right here is my favourite part of putting a project together: you've finished all the assembly, you've tidied your sewing room, you're all set to baste and get on with the magnificent quilting plan you've developed in your head over the last 300 morning tea breaks at work and.....and best of all........you are absolutely blissfully unaware of what you have stuffed up and are yet to find and fix :laughing:

Note the boards I use for basting...notice how they are almost snug up into my window blinds? Haha, I had originally loaded the 3 boards only to discover I had so much "overhang" of board on the end of each that they fouled into the venetian blinds and I couldn't unroll them!  :headbang: Had to unroll all 3 and redo them..idiot :thinking: :laughing:

That is magnificent!  And very orderly and controlled!!  :o   :thumbsup:
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

That is stunning- I love the colour wheel/ rainbow effect! Way too fiddly for me to attempt, but I will admire it from afar!  :D

I have the utmost admiration for your paper piecing skill.  I nearly drove myself demented yesterday doing a couple of simple triangles - I just couldn't get my head round where to put the fabric so that it covered the shape when folded back.
Life's too short for ironing.
