Some of the 6" blocks have over 30 pieces in them so they are real tiny pieces.
I hope you do make the FWS. It was definitely out of my comfort zone but I learned so much and feel I'm a much
better quilter since making it. Good luck and please post pics of your quilt.
I too did the FWS and totally agree with JanRN's comments.
You can do the FWS in most any fabrics you wish ... although, as JanRN has mentioned, many of your larger prints you will lose the lovely patterns.
Take a look around at the different FWS that have been posted here on the QB. JanRNs has a lot of jewel tones and is beautiful. Mine is a totally scrappy quilt using 144 fabrics. Some used one colour schemes. And lots more variations.
Good Luck!! And we'll look forward to seeing yours.
