It is good to see this thread active again! I have found I like the smaller quilt project better. Right now I am working on some mug rugs to match a table runner I did earlier this year. The center pieced block measures about 2.25 finished.(still need to get that 1/4 inch seam better!)

And this is one that was given at Christmas. It measures I think 12.5 by 13.5 and the tree is made of 1 inch finished HST's.

I did use Ronda's 1 1/2 template for this one.
