Rarely follow a pattern to the letter ... I almost always tweek the size to fit the donation size I like. Sometimes change the block size too! Often use a different method to get the pieces done, eg half-sq triangles. I just love seeing lots of different ideas and then I use bits from here and bits from there to make something that will work for me :)Helen in the UKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06244235808545822843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758475602275745268.post-30597094451197416172011-03-12T19:55:08.200-06:002011-03-12T19:55:08.200-06:00Your jewel box is beautiful.

I really need to try to take a break from playing with yarn to play with my poor, neglected sewing machine. <br /><br />As far as patterns, sometimes I follow one, sometimes not, just depends.

I love drafting quilt designs on graph paper, then play with the sizing until it's just the right block size to work.<br /><br />Your jewel box is looking great, and I'm so glad you are working with wonderful people. We've never had a bad experience when hospitalized, and I think the nurses made that happen!<br /><br />And while we're on the subject, what do you like as 'thank you' gifts for the nursing crews....we've always done muffins or chocolates....but is there something better? I'd hate to think that they all rolled there eyes at yet another basket of muffins.
