As expected, there should be lots of finicky finishing since a 1/4 seam is not consistent. I completed one made while a member of a guild where I received 9 blocks that ranged from 6 to 10 inches. I added borders and filler blocks and ended up with a pretty nice quilt. There are lots of opportunities to exercise your brain with this project.
