I had two boxes of these squares and decided to take them on a road trip to work on while riding in the car and in the evenings. I am really enjoying it, but it is taking a lot of time. Right now I have 15 squares in a row, 14 rows done and started the 15h row. I have enough squares for 25 rows. Then I'm going to put a 5" border of neutral around it and applique a vine and flowers with my own scraps for a wall hanging. I can't imagine making a throw or bed-sized one! What perseverance you have!

It's beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Sounds great! I can't even begin to imagine hand piecing, wow, that's awesome. There's a thread on here doing a challenge on postage stamps: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-144197-1.htm if you want to join in.
