Geez, picking out 24 fabrics is giving me a headache just thinking about it.
Thanks again!
Sharon, I have made the wall hanging version of Surf Song. Mine measures at 48 x 49. It uses 20 fabrics, eight of one color family and 12 of another.
I also made a Surf Song that was 60 x 60. I cut each strip a bit wider to do that, but I sure can't remember how much. It might have been half an inch? It is do-able though, and I am sure you can make it the size you want. Just take your time with the math. I was pleased with the result, though I thought my second one lost the pattern a bit, the way I enlarged it.
I have the second book and Misty Morning is in it. It measures 61x80 1/2.
Let me find pictures of my two, in case they are helpful to you.
