Square or Rectangle?

I picked up my Jan Stawasz piece again.  I added a few more motifs to it.  It is now square.  And I'm wondering what to do.  Shall I stop at a square and start making the border?  Or shall I make it into a rectangle?  I can't make up my mind at the moment.







It currently measures 33cm across.  So shall this remain a WIP for a while longer and I should continue to make it bigger or shall I finish it?    What would you do?

Best wishes,
Frivole

    Knowing your love of squares, I vote for finishing it as a square. However, I'm sure it will be beautiful no matter what you decide. Your photos are wonderful... if only I had the patience to try and take a good photo!

    Carollyn (madtatter) introduced a lovely & practical term wrt my Wiosna - "tablescape" . The proposed future use & surrounding context, can help one decide many aspects of the doily - colours, shape, etc.
    Would you like to do some tablescaping to decide, too ? :-)
    It is looking really good

      Thanks Muskaan but I've not made it specifically to go anywhere. I just fancied making it! :-)

    I thinks it's beautiful and unique in the shape it's in right now! Where will you use it? I tend to make things in shapes that don't necessarily fit my needs just because of how I perceive the finish rather than how it will best work for me.

    I think it' stunning now! It will look beautiful in a rectangle too but I find it particularly pleasing as a square.

    Well, that's wonderful! Thank you for your comments - yes, as you know, I've always liked squares and it seems just about everyone is in agreement! Square it is then. How exciting, I can start working on the border!

    Wunderschön. Ich liebe das Quadrat. Wo wird es liegen? Das Bild ist gut.

      Thank you. I'm not sure where I'm going to put it yet. But hopefully I'll find it a good spot when it's finished. :-)
