This quilt is very versatile, and can be used to create other quilts besides the one pictured in the book.  Here are some ideas, for those of you that don’t want to commit to stitching the entire 20 blocks. 

Each block in the quilt averages approximately 5 hours of actual stitching time. 

Mix and match, you decide how many of the blocks you want to make: 

·        If you take segments 2 and 3, your will have 12 blocks and can make a nice quilt using sashing in-between the blocks and then add a border.

·        Take Segment 1 and either 2 or 3 and end up with 10 blocks and you can make the newest rage; a short bed quilt that only covers the bottom of your bed.  Lots easier to make in the morning, and if you use a nice blanket/sheet, and several pillow shams, your bed looks fantastic.  You could also put together the 10 blocks to make a wall hanging or throw size quilt with a pillow thrown in for good measure. 

·        Some might just want to take the medallion class, which is really only one block, 2 sewn one way, and the other 2 mirrored, to create the center medallion for the quilt, or a wall hanging. 

·        How about just making some pillows for yourself or as gifts.  Take any of the segments that will make the right number of pillows that you would like to create.
