First of all, I don&#8217;t have a design wall large enough to accommodate such a large piece. Second, I would have to cut all the pieces down to a square and I want to work with the subway tile shape. Third, I don&#8217;t want to wrestle such a large quilt. FOTY 2017 will probably be a monster anyway and I don&#8217;t want to add to it. It seemed better to start afresh with an idea in mind.<\/p>\n<p>The 2.5&#8243; shape also means I can get pieces out of small leftovers where needed. I am excited, though FOTY 2017 being undone still drags a bit.
