i am working on a 6" block from the 'Nearly Insane" quilt book...it is a 6" block with 6 (rounds)...i think about 28 pieces, i spent an hour on it today and got the first 3 rounds done, it is cute and measures 1" now...center square is 1/2"; next pieces are 3/4" and the next 1"...i am hoping the next rounds go a little bit faster.
when i made the pineapple blocks those took an hour each...looking through the insane book some of those blocks are going to take ... a long time!...there is one block with over 200 pieces...that one is going to take some time-they are all 6" blocks, boy thinking about a 6" block with 229 pieces is a little overwhelming, i better stop thinking about it ;)
