I've thought of doing this as a non-scrappy quilt and eliminate some of the small pieces by making the star in the middle all one color of print, using a 4" square in the middle and flying geese blocks for the points. Then use a coordinating fabric for the outer "wheel" also using flying geese. And a lighter tone-on-tone fabric for the background. But then maybe I'd get as tired of making flying geese as I did sewing all those little squares together. I pieced half the blocks and then put it away for two years before I got it out and finished it. (I also had other things going on that kept me away from it, not just getting tired of making it.)
