The idea for the top! With double vision, reading is somewhat difficult, so I sometimes mis-read numbers in patterns. (What that really means is that I don't follow instructions well!) I wound up 'inventing' a few quilts because of that, and discovered I liked to do that. It is so cool when I'm rummaging through my stash for a fabric for one quilt only to become inspired by finding a completely forgotten fabric that, for some reason, flashes a quilt top into my head. More than one quilt has been, uh, delayed because of those flashes of inspiration!
Next is the follow through - cutting, piecing, etc. The part I truly dislike doing is binding. Ugh.

If you like making little quilts, try the "Square Family Reunion". Each piece is a little quilt; they all have their own personality and their own colors. It's like being in a big crowd of people; each person is dressed differently, and it doesn't matter of the gal dressed in orange goes and stands by the one dressed in red. I so enjoyed making all those little quilts. Mine has over 200 "little quilts". I made mine bigger and put them together differently, but it is easier if you do it like the original pattern.

Macybaby, too bad we don't live close to each other. I like binding. I think it is having the whole job finished. I just finished two quilts this past week. one queen size and on large throw size. If we lived close I could bind your quilts for you.
