Granny Cat the lap quilt I showed earlier was done just like that. I liked the fabric I had and I liked the block. I just started making blocks with no ideal of how I was going to lay them out. That's part of the reason for the gold strips within the quilt. I had to have something so the blocks would line up. I knew I didn't want just a quilt with blocks just alike so I came up with the strips and then embroideried in each cross section. I had absolutely no idea where I was going with the block until it was finished. I think that's why I had so much fun making this.
