Anyone can use these ideas! I cut the main panel 20.5" square, then use the formula of many 4.5"squares; and some of the following sizes; 4.5"x6.5", 4.5"x8.5"; several 8.5" squares; and a couple 8.5"x12.5". Then you lay out like a jigsaw puzzle. finding a combination that fits. The measurements will work because you can always use combos that will add up to 20.5" around the focal fabric. Then keeping in the stated increments, the rest works into place. The second quilt was more planned after experimenting with the first. Designs are constantly running in my head.
