It did take me a long time to piece the top together. But, the airplane blocks and the mariner's compass block are the new paper-piecing technique, and I had never done that before.
I did have to put it on a design board to figure out the correct color placement. And since basically so many blocks are different, there was no assembly-line action, it was pretty much just piece each block one at a time.
After that, well, I hand-quilted it. And that is just as slow as it sounds, but not harder than any other.
