I am one of those who has no plan. Most times it eventually works out, but, sometimes I get stumped. I really get dizzy when I see a pattern that says "cut 150 2 inch squares of the light, dark and medium" and so on. Some patterns are really pretty, but, I don't want to put in the effort to actually make them. Then a technique interests me so I do some of that. Sometimes that turns into blocks and sometimes that turns into a quilt. Well, most times, although they are just for me and fun to play with. I quilt mostly for my own pleasure, give or take a baby quilt here and there, so I just enjoy myself. I have a stack of varying size quilts all on the guest bed.
