I know there's 'tree of life' that has 128 pieces or so. What else?
I think I should change my nickname to NotSoEasy. :wink:
Why are you looking for blocks with over 90 pieces?

See, now that sounds like more of a challenge than something like the Tree of Life block, which is really HST's.
Granted, a lot of them. In a very small space. ;-)

I don't know if I have the cojones to attempt the INSANE block, though. I'll try to see if I can find the block layout.

Now I'm very curious about this block with 229 pieces. I may have to
get that book just. Please post a picture of your 'nearly insane' blocks
when you are done.

Apparently I'm a Masochist LOL but I know I'm not the only one.
They know who they are with all their teeny teeny itsy bitsy pieces.

Seriously, I just love those blocks with lots of pieces.
