I was thinking of doing an improv type of quilt, Sandra, but I find I need to have an idea of how the finished quilt will look before starting. I might end up using that technique once I have the pieces cut.

There are such lovely colours and plans here, you are all so very clever  :)

It's very cold and windy here today, I think I'll have to look in my scrap bag, be brave, and see if I can try to make something - my lovely  :vintage:  has been feeling very neglected as I haven't been sewing for a long while, new little :meow: who needed a lot of tlc and trying crochet have been very distracting  :D

I need some sort of plan, but mine are scribbles on scraps of paper. (This is why my sizes don't work out properly  :S)  I love how organised you are with your plan.

I am intending to do a quilt for bear.  I've managed to clear the decks of other outstanding stuff now so no excuses - except that I don't know what to do yet.
Life's too short for ironing.

Stuff from scrap bag, will be used in an ad hoc manner. May be all used, may be just a selection.

Fajita... 10" x 12" was the suggestion, but mine came out as a 12" square  ;)
Triumph of hope over experience :D

Fajita, I think on the first page of this thread, the size was suggested as 8"x10" or thereabouts.

Edited: just realised that if the mitre is on the binding, then this is too late for you, Fajita.

Thanks Stitcintime.
My quilt is now complete with a final size of 9.25 inches X 11.5 inches.

All pictured and emailed to the boss lady Iminei, fingers crossed.

Hello Fajitapeep,

I understand from the Oooohs and Aaahs coming from the other side of Herself's laptop this morning that entries have begun to trickle in ... just wish she left the emailbox open when she buzzes off for me to have a looksie!

Snowflakes are lovely Syrinxpeep, or so I think from what Ive seen on the telly.
