It was alot of fun. I like to design on graph paper, and the inset seams weren't as hard as some others I've attempted. I'd say that it was challenging and time consuming. Each block took 20 to 30 hours each.
A few were totally original designs. The top center block I named "We're Going to Need a Bigger Boat" from the line in the movie "Jaws." The two top sections are boats and the bottom section is a BIG fish.
