Default To all of you who piece blocks

I really have never made a 'traditional' pieced quilt that I can recall. I am making one now out of my reds and whites.
Each block I finish I am in awe of all of you and all of the quilts you have made just a little bit more! For crying out loud there are so many pieces and how in the world do you remember how to put them together.

You are all incredible, really I mean that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are so many pieces!

My quilting is sometimes pointless. Yep when I have the block together some of the points have disappeared. Darn points, I think we've all been there.

i've started my Dear Jane journey... but doing 3 at the same time. 5000+ pieces each! and each block is only 4.5" finished... so tiny. it was only a few years ago that i would never dream of attempting such a thing

Star quilts - I can make star quilts in my sleep - they are so easy and so few pieces! I do art stuff as well - this stuff makes me want to cry usually, but I am having fun.
