something like 10 hours....... :oops:. 1 hour only to take the tiny pieces of paper out!
The hardest thing was to put the 16 pp patches together with matching points. Not one single seam I didnt have to redo at least 6 to 7 times, as it tended to slip under the pressing foot.
When sewing HST blocks together, Rhonda tacks the corner points by hand on her small pieces. Maybe a little hand tacking of blocks at the corners would help you, too. If it works so that you only have to sew once or twice it would be worth it I would think.

OBTW, this quilt is just fabulous like all the rest. G
