Well, Franky is surrounded by colourful blocks.
He's going to have to be patient again as I need to take a break from him until about mid-October. At least he has lots of company.

FuzzyKitty ... oh please do show us more! Absolutely Adorable!!!!
HGrammie ... I understand! What I do is draw it all out on paper, along with my measurements. Then add it all up according to what my plans are, making sure I add in the 1/4" seams. Plus, I always buy extra fabric, as I usually change plans in midstream as I see something coming together. There are so many different ways that you could cut apart a book panel and re-join them, that we really can't predict what you would need. It'll be a fun project to do. I have one I need to get done for a baby gift too.
W4Me ... wonderfully done! Colourful yet they all work together well.
So much for the one year project!!
I predict a pre-Christmas finish!

Welcome back QuiltE.
Maybe an early 2013 finish. It all depends on the paper-pieced blocks. The bottom zig zag block has 5 different spider fabrics in it. Every single block surrounding Franky has at least one spider fabric.
