Thanks Nancy, I think I might make mine 30" octagonal with half blocks and an optional pit to make spheres. I will certainly use some half blocks as working on the hankie at the moment is awkward because its too little to move the block, and too much to not move it, so the bobbins only have a short working thread, and they are hanging off the pillow which is not ideal.
I made myself a hot wire (with help from grandad), so I cut my own blocks, cover them and then make trays out of coreflute. I just wasn't sure about others preference or whether I was just being a tad fussy. I also want to make a fan pillow that has triangular blocks that can be swapped and replaced to make the curved fan.
