What's Wrong with me!!!! I don't measure amounts, don't use a printed pattern hardly ever, and I just do a sketch from a picture or an idea brewing from a piece of fabric in my "stash". Never used that word until I saw this forum!
It's sort of of a play, cut and sew. I have some quilts that I like and some that are great for charity! But I very seldom buy material, just inherit from others or use things that are donated to our sewing group. leftover squares make pillow covers, book covers, pin cushions, table runners, crazy quilts. Maybe all my things should come under the name of crazy, but I enjoy it all. Hope this might help some quilters to loosen up and take a chance! You only come this way once (I think) so enjoy it!
