and it’s time to start making a decision – do I include my old aborted (20×20) log cabin or not?

I have another 6 or so “base” swatch squares to finish before I’ve got to decide how approximately the blankie will be put together so that I can jig with the widths/lengths of the other squares before knitting.

One idea: chop up the big log cabin into smaller pieces. But I don’t know if that would look strange or not.

Thoughts?
