Jane, just work it at your own pace. I did warn all the BH newbies that there would be a huge dump of work at the end. That work is not meant to be wrapped up in a week, as the individual clues were. It's only meant for you to see where your quilt will end up. I really like the "rapid fire" clues this year, as they were really only joins of elements we had already made, and gave us a head start on finishing the blocks and sashings.
One thing nice about going slow: you get to see all the alternate ideas that others come up with and might find some things you like better than Bonnie's way. People will be working on these quilts for the rest of the year, up until the next mystery. I still have my Allietare in blocks on my design wall! That's one of my UFO goals for 2018.
