I have decided to do the rest of the carpenters square as an assembly line. It was literally taking me 2 hours to do 2 squares! I worked on 16 squares all day from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and still have about 8 steps left to do. I really like the way it turns out though. Thanks for all the comments and suggestions! I will be wrapping up blocks for Christmas with a note saying this will be your quilt ASAP! I am sure they won't mind waiting. Merry Christmas everyone!
