I say, DO IT! I learned so much when I started in January. I got away from it this summer as I expected but I had worked way ahead but I am now officially behind but it is worth the journey. I am not a purist, so my colors are the colors I like, I made the squares 6.5 as I didn't want to make myself crazy and I may or may not do the triangles but I learned alot and I have totally enjoyed the journey. My next decision is how to join the blocks but hopefully I will come up with something. Hope you join. I"ll look for the golden avatar.
