What is the optimal size and number of squares you can get

Hi Jan with chihuahua,
Sorry other half should have put DH. Yes weren't those villages great, show me when you do one.

Ok, Wendy, It won't happen 'til the DH is away. I have some dark sky fabric and if I could find the right fabrics to go with I could make a few small ones as gifts if they're any good. Trouble is the stash is all over. I've seen that fabric somewhere a few months ago. There's no place to organize the stash except the basement.
I must have reached critical mass in my house, because I am losing lots of things. That's incentive to use up stuff, give it away and to resist buying anything new. (I need to find a group of messies anonymous, or start one.)
There's a quilt show in November nearby that I was planning to take a class on applique and I have no idea what to do. I actually think I should stop taking classes and finish what I've started. I can't find a book I have on applique that has a nice fall scene. I like the idea of doing something with leaves. Except raking them which is what I'm supposed to be doing now. So I'll be going outside right now. Best to get as many of them up before the storm makes the rest of them come down. DH can't rake too much anymore. More excercise for me!
