I enjoy making letters using the Tonya Ricucci style of letters from Word Play Quilts. I started with 1" strips and sewed and trimmed until I got letters of similar sizes. In this project the letters are about 2.5" finished.So here is my question... which layout is better... should the words read in a clockwise circle around the centre pig block as in layout #1 or in a counterclockwise direction as in layout #2?
Layout #1 (clockwise)
Layout #2 (counterclockwise)
Please vote in the comments below and tell me which layout you prefer. The letter 'W' is a little unique looking, but I like it so I might just trim the top a bit and start sewing it together in which ever layout is preferred. Thanks for you help!

I like the second one. Cute!
ReplyDeleteThink that I like the second one the best and this Pig is so cute. Either would work... nice job!

Layout #2. Cute idea!
ReplyDeleteChiming in, the second one is easier to read.
ReplyDeleteI am with those who favour the second layout! The message is more quickly realized.
ReplyDeleteCounterclockwise. But then, I've always been a rebel ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy eyes like #1 they follow the words around the piggie!! he cute too!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely perfect! We should have one of these hanging in the entrance to every grocery store!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I like the second layout.
ReplyDeleteI like the second one. But I would even change the words need and you. So that 'you' is on the side and 'need' is at the bottom. Am I making sense?
ReplyDelete#2 gets my vote. That or how about (hope this works)
ReplyDeleteUpper left cornor
take what
(insert pig)
you need.
I agree with Rebecca's suggestion -- makes it easier to parse.
ReplyDeleteOh Pigs!!! National Pig day!! I LOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteI like # 2. We usually read left to right. I love your stars !
ReplyDeleteKathy, I like number 2 also. That is how we read 😊
ReplyDeleteLove the Piggy!

Cute! I had no idea there was a national day for pigs. I like the counter-clockwise setting. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteMy eyes like the 2nd version, too. This is such a funny piece;)))
ReplyDeletenice work -- hugs from home base in AC today Julierose
Love the pig. Very well done for the letters too. Unfortunately, I'll throw a wrench in there. When writing in a circle, to make it easier for people to read it, the bottom of the letters should touch or point to the center of the circle. Therefore, T from Take should be at the bottom left and round you go. But that rule is for logo making. It may not apply to quilt making.

#2. That pig is so cute! Hugs,
ReplyDeleteI like number 2 but Rebecca also has a goo idea. Cute pig!
ReplyDeleteI like layout number 2! Looking good!!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely version two, so much easier to read the words around your cute little piggy.
ReplyDeleteI think the second one as well. we are used to reading left to right, top down......
ReplyDeleteThe second one seems to be a more logical sequence to me. I'm wondering where this will hang?
ReplyDeletecute design, I like the second one better, it is easier to read.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute. It should hang above your toilet paper. :)
ReplyDeleteCute pig. I like layout 1.
ReplyDeleteI like #2 best.
ReplyDeleteI can read the 2nd one easier.
ReplyDeleteI know I'm probably too late, but we are trained to read clockwise, so I choose the first layout.
