I am probably considered an intermediate level quilter. I am not afraid to go small and detailed, but some of the fabrics would losevthere impact being cut small. I have debated doing something simple like using the friendship star block and alternating it with a more complex square with the more forgiving patterns. Thought about doing a twisted French braid quilt. The other thing is I am not an applique'r. I tend to like more modern style quilts and usually don't work off of a pattern rather use an inspiration quilt or ten and adapt it to what is in my head. The hang up I think is I don't want to cut these materials small. I have debated creating a large piano keyboard pattern using the colored fabrics to make maybe 5-7 inch "white" keys and the black patterned pieces to do the flat and sharp keys. That just seems very much like taking the easy way out. I know I am over thinking this.
