@peaceandjoy I like the idea of that double sized project. "Tiny Pieces" is a common refrain about Bonnie's work. When I first started doing these, Quilt Lady Janice rightly observed "but you don't like thousands of little triangles". Still don't -- but once a year I can do a bunch of them, and then be glad when I'm not doing any.
Last year when someone said they were doing a "half sized" project, my first thought was a miniature Bonnie project! It made my head swim. Half the blocks rather than blocks half the size is the usual meaning
@WMUTeach oh, it would be so fun to have you join us, lurker or not. I'm glad you like the color way this year but I often use Bonnie projects as a way to get fabric out of my stash... So for those with lots of colors that go well together but just aren't speaking to you right now, this can be a fun way to use them up. Last year I was able to use up a very nice fabric that just wasn't a color I wanted to work with.
I prefer rectangular quilts as well. Pretty sure I added an extra row on the Rhody one and have on maybe half the projects?? We have also upgraded to a king sized bed, so maybe I want to stay square but go a full extra row both ways. Again, is a mystery... we don't know in advance what is being used where and if maybe you can add/double a border or something. I've decided I'm going to make 12 extra whatever units -- not a huge amount if they don't get used, a good start if I do want to add them in.
