When Making a New Quilt, Do You
#1
Hi Guys and Gals,
Do any of you ever make a smaller version of a quilt before you make a twin, double, queen or king size one.
Do you make a test block first, before diving into the main block.
I am just asking because I am still learning.
Take Care,
Mary (stitchengramie)

If it is a new pattern to me, I try to make a sample block first with scrap fabrics. That way I can find and work out any problem areas before I cut my good fabric. It also lets me know if I am in way over my head (have been there before...lol).

That is such a good idea, but I've never done it. I'm usually too anxious to get started. Maybe I'll try it when I get my 12-15 ufo's done. That is my goal right now. I don't know it I can resist starting a new quilt, though.
