If you love making these and want to play with this a bit further. . . I wonder how it would work to increase the size of the strips? Wouldn't this make a larger, almost lap sized quilt??? I KNOW some preteen or teenager would LOVE getting one of these through Project Linus for their hospital bed or bed at home. And, though most adults don't realize it, they'd appreciate the work and art of it. Since you don't have family to share with, this would be an awesome charity quilt if you cold make it larger.
