I like the idea of personalizing the quilt, great idea!
Gee, when paper piecing, it can take me 30 minutes to peel the paper off some of these blocks! I'm at a 2 hours average, start to finish per block, some take longer, only the very simple ones take a little less...and then I iron and iron and iron and trim. At this rate it would me three months just to piece the blocks on a full time basis. Then all the finishing...I do really like these blocks, I know I am going to love this quilt. It just may be hung on the wall when its done! :)
