I put a list of percentages here on page 57 Martina - it only goes up to 12 inches though.

Some are working at the 7in original size, Kathy is one, as she only wanted a wall hanging. I don't remember anyone saying anything other than 7in or 10in (finished size), but I might have missed a posting somewhere.

Although most of my blocks have batiks in them, I have added in extra 'ordinary' quilting cotton if I wanted another colour and had it in my stash, so I am not being precious about it. We always said right from the beginning that it would look really nice as a scrappy quilt, it would lend itself easily to that. After all, Aie used dozens and dozens of fabrics in hers.
