I also have another Red, WHite and Blue project in mind. It's actually already cut out and blocks partially made!
I'm making a scrappy star quilt (a gift for a friend, as her "beach" house colors are navy, red and white). As it turns out, I originally was making 12 blocks for the lap quilt. Then as I was laying out the blocks (which are 15" finished) I realized it was going to be way too big! (Funny how in your mind thinks things aren't as large as when you lay the pieces out on a design wall !!!) Now I have enough pieces to make a second scrappy star quilt. (I'm using the "Buckeye Beauty" pattern in Eleanor Burns' book, Quilts Through The Seasons.
