Bento Box Quilt Cunundrum

I'm at a critical juncture with the bento box quilt (two roads diverged in a wood)... The original plan was to just make the 12 blocks and then cut each one into fours and rearrange them. Now I've started thinking to cut the blocks the way they are now and rearrange them, and then add the one extra layer around the edge so the outer most strip is all the same and the inner strips are all jumbled. Although whichever way I choose to do this quilt I'll more than likely try the other way soon after, so I guess it really doesn't matter.

wax on, wax off, wax on, wax off...
