I only work 'seriously' on this project a couple times a year and am using it to teach myself patience -- lots and lots of patience! Ran across the pattern a couple years ago in a magazine -- 'Rolling Prairie', and spend the next year gathering up 116 different 1/8 yard cuts from Ohio, Tennessee, Mississippi, Texas, Germany and even Venice, Italy while on various business trips. It is far from perfect from a technical standpoint, but still lays relatively flat and is starting to get pretty fun
