    Thanks Paper princess - actually your name and comments have given me an idea - I could maybe try and cut the pieces of paper before I touch my fabric.

    I found this similar pattern for 10" and charms. You can download the pattern for free, see beneath the photo.

    My thought is that perhaps you should start on it and keep going as it seems just a random group of patches. I'd say relax and let the design happen and enjoy the process.

    The quilt pictured seems to be one row of, say, 31/2" squares sewn in a long strip. Another looks like 2 1/2 long strips which are sewn into another long strip. You could try to duplicate the look by making a sample and seeing how you like the look. You could put the squares into one grocery bag and the narrower strips in another bag Then, reach into the bag and pull out one piece. Pull out another and unless it is exactly like the one you pulled before, sew the two together. Keep going like this until you have assembled one long row of your larger squares. Do the same thing with the narrow strips until you have two long strips. Put a different color of fabric with the strips and sew the three together. If you like the look, keep going.

    I printed off the pattern suggested and it uses 10" squares. Each row is 10 inches. The one you like seems to have varying widths. You could make the rows 6 , 7, 8, 9, 10 inches with and 2 or 3 inch plain between and get 65 o 70 inches and add plain wide borders top and bottom and get a suitable length. Just use the random pattern for placement of colors. I hope you get a pattern you like.
