Wow, you guys are awesome. Thank you so much for the great advice. I made one block and it turned out ok, but I honestly feel that the over all effect is not so great that it makes the tedium worth it lol. I did the same thing Dina did and didn't realize how small the blocks are. The book is very interesting, but most blocks in the book are 20 pieces or so

I may just look through and pick a few that I like and scale them up.
