    Thank you - I hadn't got as far as thinking about making it up to sell yet but it's possible. If there was enough interest! :-D

    Judging by how sales of my avatar pattern is going, I think lots of ppl are put off by the small block size I like to work with (6") - I do this because that gives a more stunning effect to the design I think. Plus, there will be Paper Piecing involved, which also puts ppl off! But if there's interest, I'll do it. :-D

    Here's my current thinking for the border - these twisted cabin blocks are 4" finished! But if there are ppl brave enough to declare an interest...

    Borders bring it up to 72 x 60 so a good sized lappy or even twin bed topper.

It will be 48" x 36" without borders - I haven't decided on borders yet, will piece the middle first! Anyway, I just cut all my strips at 1 1/4" wide and 1" wide unfinished and laid them out in cutlery trays ready to go! I'm piecing the normal way rather than PP - good practice for those accurate scant 1/4" seams!
    Love this pattern..never thought about trays like that..it would come in handy for a lot of quilts..I use a drying rack for mine(as I chain piece) and do Bargello's..beautiful colors..can't wait to see it quilted !!
