I am making 20" square - piecing by hand then cutting backing and stuffing and pinning it together and quilting. This small and easy to carry around. I can quilt without a frame. After I get so many 20 squares made I will sew them together on the machine. I have two different ones going right now. One is a strip quilt out of scraps and the other is like a whole cloth quilt on muslin. I draw a design on the 20" square then quilt it and someday I will sew them together to make a lap quilt. The muslin is cheap and it is easy to carry around. I am not sure exactly how this will look sewed together but I think it will be fine and it is fun to work this way.
