Sailboats around a center panel of the map of the world.

I would do 4" block with appliqued hearts for all my family and friend whom I love.

Now that is an interesting idea! How would you do it?
Would it be a big flatish triangle, or a spiral?
I was thinking of starting with a little single square for 1. and drawing it out on graph paper using a different color for each number. Talk about thinking outside of the box!
Fantastic! Jeannie

I would select a "tree of life" as I am steady, strong, moving to the winds that occur in my life, swaying, bending, with my branches reaching ever to warmth and sunny days, to hope, endurance, while providing nurture, security, and life to those I love.

I have not made a tree of life quilt pattern yet. May be I had better get busy.

First it would be made with batiks in greens and warm golds. I would have a lot of friendship stars because my friends are very important. And I would have a bull for Taurus , fish for Pieces and a lion for Leo, the 3 signs of my DH,DS and DD. Then last I would a 2 thin lines because I like to follow the rules and stay within the lines. This is really interesting and I will give it more thought.

I have two basic ideas....one is a series of strips, 2 1" (finished) strips next to each other, a 2" strip on either side...3" strip on either side of that etc, then cross it with the same series so i'd end up with a series of blocks radiating out from the center. The other idea i had was to use square of the correct sizes and arrange them into a block that could then be quilted in a spiral pattern. I think about this stuff waaay too much. *LOL*
