Will I ever finish? It remains to be seen.
I don't like sewing little pieces together. I prefer to sew strips together and then splice into smaller pieces, but that doesn't work well if you want a scrappy look. Years ago, I saw a product on one of the quilting shows (of which I no longer can get here). This product was a fusible product that was marked with grid lines. The quilter arranged her little squares in order and then fused with an iron. Then the piece was folded on the lines and stitched. I remember thinking that it was a cool product, but I've never seen it in stores (didn't really look for it) but I'm sure it's out there.
