Default Hello All, New here with a block question

I decided to try the 100 blocks - 100 days challenge using the Tula Pink book. I love the colors and the designs and really enjoyed seeing other people's work last year. The problem is... I hate those tiny pieces. It took me hours to cut out the many tiny pieces for the first block and the small 6" finished size drives me crazy. Is there a way to proportionally size these blocks up? I don't mind the finished piece looking wildly different, I just know I can't spend my time cutting tiny pieces and sewing them back together. Am I just not someone who should be quilting? I have made smallish blocks before, but using a pinwheel pattern or half square triangles. A block the measures 6" finished and is made up of 20 pieces makes me not want to sew. Thank you so much in advance for your advice.
