Before I start a quilt, I always make a block to see how I like it. Sometimes I even will do 4 blocks so that I see
what the larger outcome might be if I actually finish it. IF I'm not particularly happy with the blocks, then I go ahead and make them into a lap quilt by doing more that will give me at least that size.
Right now I have 15 lap quilts all ready for the Rest Home for next Christmas.

Yep, I love quilting, but find that I get very bored if the pattern doesn't have some "challenge" to it. SO, I'd say finish it up as a lapquilt and be done with it. Happy Day Quilting!!
