What was I doing yesterday? Well, sketching. I have strayed from the original Lattice Illusions pattern and have started to create my own pattern that is a little larger than the original. I decided to make as many blocks as I could and now have the odd number of 21. Now I really have to figure out where the quilt is going. Yesterday I started sketching the center panel and adding on borders (solids and hourglass blocks). From here I can work out the math of how much fabric I need and then head out to the shop.
How do you plan quilts? Do you sketch on grid paper or use fancy software like EQ? I am always up for a new idea, so let me know your thoughts!
