I am afraid that if I did that the blocks would be soo small then I would not even have enough left for a quilt of any size
I think my best option will be to just work on this off and on between other projects. Getting a break every once in a while may help me out. I will just apologize if I can't get this done for Christmas
I was able to make a little headway. I still need to give these blocks a good steam and press, but so far so good

I made 3 of these quilts, one for myself and gifted 2. I do not like to sew long rows together so I made mine into blocks with 4 across, 4 down (16 to each block) then I connected the blocks into rows. Then connected rows so only had to connect 5 or 6 long rows depending on the size of the quilt. I really loved making them. Keep going, you will love it.
