I'm so excited because I found my 6.5" square last night, and this great tutorial on the Quiltville site:
http://quiltville.com/barbscrumbs.shtml I think with the bigger blocks I can make the lap quilts much faster. The smaller 4.5" square is perfect for coasters, which would be perfect for putting on all of my old sewing machines where hubby & kids continually set down their cups. Anybody know if you bind coasters the same as a quilt?
I think this scrapy/string/crumb quilting will help me to express myself with color and add some fun to my quilting. It is so much fun not to have to worry about following a set pattern, and the whole thing is so liberating. :)
