I think your little quilt has gotten the point across - - simple blocks can make an intricate look ...
but, I am thinking about that comment about "good luck sewing tiny squares" - - though, I am sure you are into the strip piecing and whatever ...
since you are messing around with your computer, what happens if you double the size of the individual squares? Does it really detract from the intricacy you are trying to show?
I only ask because of the seams all getting bunched up around the HST. But, it really isn't my problem, is it? <g> and, if you want to do the work, I saw a Fons and Porter today ... a lady was using a hammer to make the bulky seams lay more flat <g> ...
of course, you can alternate the way the seams at that intersection comes together so they don't bulk up as bad as they are doing in my imagination.
All in all, I really like what you have done with a simple block and the way you put in your colors ... how exciting!
You did good! <wave>
