I think it's a wonderful skill building challenge.

Thanksall for the compliments! These little blocks have been fun to put together so far. TBH, tho, I have not done the blocks every day. I think that would drive me a little nuts, and I would come to dread them. Instead, I let 3-4 days pass, then catch up.
The blocks for January were all 3". It is my understanding that in April, you start on 6" blocks. So, not a big dent in the stash so far, but maybe when it is all finished?
Your quilt was the one that inspired me to work on this challenge! I was on the fence when I saw all of the gorgeous color-coordinated versions online, but I'm on the fabric moratorium, so I was going to skip it. Then I did a search here and saw how stunning your quilt turned out all scrappy. So, thank you! 
The challenge is located at Katheryn Kerr's 365 Challenge. A block is posted daily, and is available for 3 months. It is a free challenge. Like Macybaby said, it is a great skill builder. The blocks start simple, then the pieces get smaller and the patterns more intricate as you go along.

I hope to do one one day but I'm starting the Sylvia Bridal Sampler (I should get my book tomorrow). Your blocks looks great.... Good luck!
