I will be working on my large quilt for my queen size bed. I want to make it so it totally covers the mattress and box spring so it will be large. I don't really want it for warmth but for a bedspread. It uses lots of 2 1/2" squares which I have a lot of. For me it is relaxing to just sew squares together and not an intricate pattern. I have found through the years when I make a very intricate pattern on a quilt, I am hesitant to use it, but a scrappy like I am making now will be used every day. I will FMQ it myself and put a thin polyester batting in it; therefore, cutting down on the weight of it. I am at the point where I am sewing the rows together and that is what I am working on now for VQW.
