I don't do patterns well either. And I find I do start with a center block and then sash and block out. I love the Stack and Slash idea at Big Horn...thinking about that one. I can cut my own fat quarters out of the yardage I have...and they are all solids, which is what I have most of. Thanks for the linkQuote:

I believe I have watched every video out there, including Jenny's and Kaye Wood's. Each time I do, I think, oh, I'd like to make that one. Usually, I think about what to make next during the time I am making one. I started a spiderweb quilt from Jenny's video, and I bought the papers and ruler. I made a few blocks but they didn't turn out well. The edges of the spiderweb didn't match, and the star in the middle looked bad. Plus, that is a lot of sewing to do. I put that one on hold. I bought MSQC's layer cake and am now doing the one where you cut it once at 6.5, turn one stack over, sew together, then cut at 5 inches, and sew again. It is really fast, and using a layer cake makes the fabrics blend. I just finished a stained glass quilt, and it is beautiful. The problem I have with it though is that the fusible didn't fuse well, and the points of the patches are coming up. The patch won't come up because I have quilted it. I bought some fabric glue to reattach points and edges popping up.
