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 don't have the book yet so that's just the kind of information I'm looking for. I may still change my mind but had this bundle of fat quarters and wondered it it would work.

Thanks to everyone for your input. If/when I do this quilt it will definitely be a long-term project.
