I am making one using scraps from my 1930's fabrics. I cut a bunch of 2.5 inch scrap squares and white 2.5 inch squares and 6.5 inch white blocks It is now about a lap size top. I just need to add a border and decide on a backing. I enjoy sewing small pieces together so it didn't bother me at all. It may not be perfect but I am okay with that.
