I think I'll go as big as I can. It might end up bed sized. I had one roll of red, lots of blues and tans and browns, some kelly green that I decided to skip, and some mauvy pink. My grandmother made a lot of wool quilts too. She cut the blocks, stitched around the edges with a straight stitch to stabilize and the crocheted around all of them before she stitched them together. All of the wool was from old coats, pants, etc. I have a few of them that she made and I really love them...more of an afghan than a quilt, no batting or backing, but cozy and pretty. I think she made one for each of her children and all of her grandchildren, she was always working on one project or another. I loved watching her work.
