I'm enjoying it so far. My favorite was block 1. I have done very little applique and it was a big enough piece I didn't struggle too much.
I know I sound selfish, but I like knowing someone is struggling along with me. Small pieces have definitely been an effort. Bu I find they are no different for me than big pieces except harder to handle and sew. No matter how much squaring off I do and how careful I cut, it just doesn't want to come out straight. Number 4 block so far is the toughest, such tiny circles and I don't applique well, but I will continue as I learn things, different ways of doing stuff too. Hopefully will finish up 4 tonight and then get 5 done.
