I’m also a crochet or so. I love mixing colors and with improv quilting you can do it and it does look so awesome when it’s finished I’m only seeing this better than 10 years after you posted it it’s still going around, I love it.

I spend two-month periods away from home (and my stash!) and each visit I've brought some scraps with me, not knowing what to do with them as I'm not so fond of scrap quilts in a pattern. However you need to follow a method even with improvisational quilts and your instructions are simple and perfect! Luckily I have my own room, a sewing machine, threads, etc! I'm thinkinhg of adding the occasional square with a special motif or embroidery.

If your tool is 10 inches, then your blocks will actually finish at 9.5 inches. Then you will need an extra row at the bottom, so a total of 70 blocks.Kelly @ My Quilt Infatuationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13383511246261347442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983525468027485560.post-15014762064834091902018-08-04T12:39:39.389-05:002018-08-04T12:39:39.389-05:00How many blocks would you need to make a twin quit...How many blocks would you need to make a twin quit?

Alas, I have finished not one quilt yet, although I've been indulging my true hobby of "fabric acquisition pretty much since I quit my corporate soul-sucking job back in 2012. So until I start cutting into those pre-cuts and yardage, I can only dream of the day when I'll be ready to make one.
