Tip!
I am finding that I much prefer to make six inch blocks for quilts than great big ones ... maybe because I think that the more fabric in a quilt, the more entertaining it will be.
When I made my first Victory quilt a year or so ago, I made the 12" squares, but many blocks actually are enhanced by having more than one displayed, so I have moved to the smaller blocks so that when I put four together so that others can enjoy the secondary patterns, I end up with a 12" block, and I am more satisfied in the process. Making one block and moving on, without being able to practice it more, doesn't work well with my obsessive personality, I guess. :D
