Thank you everyone! I know it's huge but at least it would get used (if it doesn't all go ridiculously wrong! :lol: )more than a lap blanket. I'm going to make cushion covers a birthday presents..probably should have started with those instead but i have such gorgeous material that I didn't want to waste it on little things! I'm gonna stick to cotton now as the satin was a pain to sew straight. my next one is going to be some strips sewn diagonally on squares, arranged so they form diamond shapes and then maybe a tumbling blocks one..if i can cut diamonds.
I've thrown myself in at the deep end but I'm loving it! I get excited to go home and work on it some more :D
