Well, I agree with everything you are saying. My plan was to make something just a little larger than a baby quilt. Like maybe a throw blanket that I could use on couch.
But my friend was doing some figuring of measurements and said by adding a few more blocks each direction, I could have a comforter.
I need to make a decision. I do agree that it will seem daunting to start a project and still be working on it a year from now with no end in sight. I would like to have a finished project that I can brag a little on and then move on to the next one. That is if I enjoy it.
