Opinions Please

It is my turn to be the queen in October in my Ima Bee. 

 I get to choose a block for a quilt. I have been fretting and fretting about what to do. 

 There are a lot of really cool blocks out there. 

 I always feel guilty asking people to make some of the more difficult ones though.

  I know I don't have a lot of time. 

 I think this quilt will be for our newly made quest room. 

 My hubby will also have a desk in the room and probably some hobby storage in the closet.

  Because he will be spending time in there I asked his opinion.

  I showed him some of my choices and he had to choose from there.

  I really loved the small improv houses with lots of open space.  

He did not. 

 He is MUCH more traditional than I am. 

 I showed him a few others and finally I thought of one that he might really love.

He is a pilot and I have always wanted to make him an airplane quilt 

so I am thinking that airplanes would be cool. 

 I also love this cross quilt and the cool, calming colors.

So I think I am going to ask for airplanes made in this color palette.  

What do you think??

Now for a CrAzY idea, I think I am going to put the aviation alphabet, 

 improv style around the outside as the border!!! 

 I could ask folks for the words or the airplanes or one of each. 

 If you were in my bee which would you rather make?

  Each person makes 2 blocks so I could have almost the entire alphabet or all the planes. 

 I am kind of leaning toward all the planes but thought I would ask what you guys think. 

 I would give a max for letter size and it could be fun to get all the alphabet too. 

Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta...Zulu!
