I am not sure about it-imagine adding 7 more blocks. It will make a very large quilt. I also don&#8217;t really want to fill the blank spaces with 2.5&#8243; squares. It would make an interesting background, but would also make me crazy sewing. I could use larger squares or even different sized squares to add interest. The small size, however, makes the wording less prominent, however. I don&#8217;t want some giant word to end up in the middle of the quilt.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32038\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32038\" style=\"width: 289px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSCN1085sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-32038\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSCN1085sm-289x300.jpg\" alt=\"Carpenter's Wheel Layout #8\" width=\"289\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSCN1085sm-289x300.jpg 289w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSCN1085sm-768x796.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSCN1085sm.jpg 928w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 289px) 85vw, 289px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32038\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Carpenter&#8217;s Wheel Layout #8<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After taking this photo, I went back and looked at my other layouts.
