I am planning on 7 inch blocks and queen sized, but i think enlarging the blocks would be more practical. So my mind is not set. I love the cream colored sateen!
Thanks for writing :)
If you do the designs as 7in blocks, and make the quilt just as in the book, your quilt will only be 62in x 62in. So to get a Queen size quilt, you will have to make more blocks, either by designing more yourself, or repeating some of Aie's designs, OR you will have to enlarge the blocks OR do as some of the others are doing and put your blocks on point, with plain blocks between them.
See page 57 of this thread for some ideas of sizes.
