This reminds me of me. I see a beautiful quilt class offered and sign up for it. I did not realize how many tiny pieces were involved. I made this one:

and I think I had at least 200 half square triangles!
btw I like the way I did mine better than the pattern in the book, and there was a major error in the book which made me almost not have enough fabric!
