Worried about my Gypsy Wife Quilt Challenges
I ordered the pattern The Gypsy Wife from the fat quarter store is selling the pattern/booklet
http://www.fatquartershop.com/gypsy-...attern-booklet
. But it presents 3 challenges for me....1) I will have to expand it to a king or queen size for my family and friends. and 2) I only hand quilt as I go so I need a straight line or seam to divide up the quilt into smaller rows which means I will be "adapting" her pattern and hope to have lots of fun. and 3) I don't have any more large "collections" in my stash and it may turn out crazy, uncoordinated, and messy if I use the random scraps I have. .
Did I jump in over my head? Any opinions?

It is definitely a "clean out the fridge" project... I have been a little picky putting similar fabrics next to each other but it is totally a scrappy delight that uses even the smallest of scraps for some of the blocks
