to cut or not to cut?

Experimenting...what do you think?

For the large scale outdoor installation, Line, that I am doing for an arts festival next month, I am creating 4 rows of "laundry." Originally each piece of laundry was going to be appliqued with words on it. But realistically that is like a 6 month, not 1 month, project and I am not sure conceptually necessary.

So as an experiment I tried a cut-out of the words, partially because it will be much faster and less painstaking to make- but I also I kind of love the idea of seeing the other words, the blue sky, and the green grass through the cut out words.
What do you think?

I am diving into this project head first this afternoon as my sampler will be done in about one hours time. YAY!
