When I started, all my K size quilts were traditional & I needed the pattern.Eventually,I stared making a block & wondering if I wanted to make a quilt? Often times, the ans was no & that meant learning to put diff size blocks together.
Then I had a lot of fun making blocks from pics, just to see if I could.It's kind of an evolving process.Have seen a few quilts that I can't figure out. Makes me wish for quilting software.....but that's not gonna happen.Really doing good at not buying the little things, so to buy the bigger wants!
