Finally, I openned some seams, moved a few things around and now, am very happy with My First Quilt!
The second one started as a few blocks because I wanted to try a Log Cabin (plus I needed something to do with the 'stash' I had acquired to make my FIRST quilt!!). I decided to make a lap quilt...which quickly changed into a twin bed quilt...which grew to fit a queen. And when it got to that point, I decided that I liked it so much that I would love to make it a king size to fit our bed, but could not find any more of the two fabrics that outline each block. (Sigh). And so it remains--Just a Queen!

Wow are you brave to piece bias cuts for your first quilt! I just finished my 1st (DP9), purposely no bias, it is so intimidating to me. They are beautiful, great, cozy work! Mine is queen size and I wanted more drop on the sides than allowed given the size. My bed sits up high so I throw my quilt across my bed the "wrong" way - head and foot as the sides. It looks great and plenty at the head of the bed to snuggle with. Still anticipating my next quilt but limit myself severely shying from bias cuts.
