Yes, I'm about 2/3 rds of the way through. I had posted pictures on a previous thread, a Virtual Quilting Weekend from maybe early November (?). I have no idea what your piecing experience is, but I had never made blocks this small before. Precision is the key - any little bit "off" in your seam allowance or cutting will be very visible in the tiny blocks. I would suggest joining the Facebook group and reading posts from the beginning. If you have questions or need help, the members there are very helpful. I joined a program from Primitive Gatherings fabric and they ship one packet per month with six light and six medium/dark fabrics. I don't think they are allowing any new sign-ups there but you should be able to contact Pam Buda and find a shop still active.


Starch, Starch, Starch!! And I cut my strips a little oversize and press and trim after each seam. I started by assembling around 100 blocks, then sewing the setting triangles on those. Then sew those into units of two, then sew more tiny blocks with the fabric that arrived the next month. At this point I am assembling the blocks into the long rows, and I have a few of the rows sewn into panels of 4 rows. I am not in a hurry to finish, I still have three monthly fabric shipments to come and I want to save some space in the quilt for the new fabric.


It is a really fun project and I have learned a lot. I feel it has advance my piecing skills tremendously. Do it - you won't be sorry!!
