1. THERE ARE NO QUILT POLICE
2. IT'S YOUR QUILT MAKE IT THE WAY YOU WANT IT, WITH THE FABRICS YOU LOVE
3.MAKE A PRACTICE BLOCK BEFORE CUTTING OUT A WHOLE QUILT WORTH... you might make one decide you hate it and dog-gone it if you don't have 8 yards of fabric cut up...
make practice blocks to try different color/fabric choices, and to see how the block goes together...
