My problem too! I have looked at patterns until I am seeing them in my sleep.LOL I am using leftover scraps, some pretty big, others, not. I just dont want to start cutting things up without knowing for sure. I made my first GD a quilt using the grandmothers fan pattern, and I love it, and none of the spokes take too large a piece. I may go with that one, as it can be trimmed with trimmings from her dresses.
