The first part to the bed cover was sorting the many cotton fabric leftover pieces into some semblance of order & to ensure there was sufficient fabric. As the main colours ranged generally into pinks, blues & purples, it was decided to use this as a start with a backing lining chosen as being lilac (this was purchased as a flat double sheet in 200 count cotton).
After organising the fabrics, their sizing was next to be reviewed & at this point to start with (because of their varied shapes & sizes), try & join them into a radiating type of square - below are the first ones.
