Someone was super sweet enough to send me the The Take Five quilt pattern which could be done 1.2 yd's or 7/8's yards.. and it was great as I had ordered a bunch of 1/2 yds of various fabrics that went together as I knew that I woud eventually be able to use them. I am now, in between my normal stuff, putting together various plastic zip bags with 5 1/2 yard pieces in it. I never worry about my borders until I am am finish the initial quilt top. But It's a very pleasant and easy pattern and playing with my fabric lends so many possiblities to the quilts as Christ mas gifts. Nice lap size.
