Choice of large or small blocks?
#21
if you were going to make a simple scrappy --oh, say, pinwheels or squares or whatever -- what size block would you choose? small little blocks {4,5,6} or larger ones? or do you just follow the pattern?
I see some great designs, but think it would look better larger or smaller--- I find it quite an obstacle in choosing a design...and whether it is ever started or not! So-- do you prefer large or small?

I'm lazy so I'd alway go bigger

I have done them all sizes. I have many that are 2.5 in squares and others that are finished blocks that are 8 or ten inch squares. It partly depends on the size of the scraps that you are using. I have not used books but I have used some internet patterns. ..... and of course you can always go quiltville.com for more ideas that one can accomplish in a lifetime.
Have fun with your scrappies and from time to time just stand back in amazement at what you have created from nearly nothing!

For me, as some others have said, it depends on the size of the scraps I am wanting to use up. I find 5" to 8" a good size to aim for in most cases, but have also combined many different sized blocks in one quilt when that is how the scraps played out.
I tend to be flexible with scrappies. Smilesss........
