I have been thinking about what project I want to do next. I am not ready for anything complicated at this time. I do not have the braveness that some of you have had for your first quilt. What I am thinking of doing and have no idea if it would look stupid or not. If I could figure out how to make a half block in EQ5 I would try to design it but I am stupid when it comes to that program.
But here is what I am thinking about and wondering if this will work and if you all think so I will be starting to sew it tomorrow. I have some 6 inch squares, I have enough for a lap quilt and also material for the binding and a border, too. Anyway since I am not good at getting my squares to line up perfectly I am wondering if this would look stupid. Just sew the first row of 6 inch squares, ever so many columns across, just as they are already cut. Then on the second roll start out with a half square which would be 3 inches and then sew rest of that row until the last square with 6" squares then the end one sew the 3" square. Third roll do just like the first and fourth just like the second and so on. This way I don't have to worry about my points lining up just yet. Would this look stupid?
Can't wait for replies, I want something that I can show and what I have done I wouldn't even let my QI see because she would just die. BTW, I have never mentioned her before. She actually lives outside but she will make a good one I am sure. I am hoping that Dad will let me bring her in this winter, she is just a mutt but I love her to death. I already have a folder started to display my quilts in, but all that there right now is my puppy and she is only 4.5 months old in this picture and this is my sister, who happens to hate dogs holding her.

Now you all have met my entire family.
Still can't wait to find out if that will work for quilt.
