I find that if I look at a whole quilt top, it really intimidates me and I feel like I can't possibly do that. But if I can break it down into just one block at a time. Then it seems very managable. I like the block of the month, and row of the month, because having a whole month to make one block feels like no problem. Surely even I can do that, LOL.
I am just a one step at a time person, that's what keeps me going on a project that I wouldn't think of trying if I had to look at all the instructions from beginning to end right at the start.
