Most times I just sit down and begin with a rough idea in my head. I don't do a mastersheet or anything. I know which style I want to use, draw some patterns and design a little, make some stencils, use the precut ones and I look through my books for ideas etc. I really don't know how this quilt will turn out at the end! My current idea is to use a wide feather border and repeat the little circles somehow.
Between the main motives in the center I'm probably going to quilt some swirls - I will see.
This is how I always work!
