Think of it like cleaning up a huge mess. You can't just wish the job done. You have to take it a little step at a time and accomplish one small job at a time. The Quilt Block might look intricate but it isn't hard to do if you take it one step at a time.
Find the individual "Block" and look at it. It has 3 pieces. Cut out the fabric pieces and sew them together and then cut out a square from the middle. Voila you have accomplished the first step and the first small job. Add enough of these small jobs together and the larger job will be done in no time and you will look back and think boy that was easier than I thought!! You do have to look at the one tree instead of looking at the whole forest. The whole forest can be too intimidating but the one little tree is no big deal!!
Enough cliches??? LOL

Hey, we are Rhonda's biggest fans. Since I started doing the blocks in Batiks, I think I have my plan for the quilt on my bed. All in Batiks, various blocks from your collection. I'm starting to see which ones I like the best, depending on the colors and contrast.

I remember when I figured out how to do the Drunkard's Path my way I was so excited to share what I had discovered but had noone to show it to!! so I love being able to share the things I learn!
