Pondering Xs and Os

One benefit of having quilt blocks sit around for a while is that you sometimes see things that missed your eye initially. When I realized that I was half a row short for the Stained Glass blocks I noticed that the top row and the bottom row ended differently on the corners.














The golds in the top row created an O shape...

















but the golds in the bottom row created an X. After pondering this for a while I've decided to make the corners Xs - I just like other overall layout better. If I had gone with the Os I was planning to make the corner triangle from one of the stained glass prints but I think the X is stronger.











My little 4-legged visitor got in on the act too - obviously she felt that there were a few blocks that needed to be moved around before it was all sewn together.














Still pondering; not quite right....M
