Yup. That's 72 pieces in each block. Yikes! Worse yet, I was getting up and pressing and cutting after each line of stitching. New system, all set up at the machine now. Whew. I've gotten it down to 15 minutes a section, so that's two hours per block, not counting selecting fabrics, cutting to size for piecing, and removing the paper.
This is not a swap to let slide! But I did. Life happened on so many fronts, and I'm under the wire now. Back to stitching. I need 10 total, 2 each of 5 colorways. Plus my own, but that can and will wait.
How's your weekend going? I'm thankful for the extra hour. Hey, that's half a block:)

That is a pretty block. But, it does look like a lot of work. I'm hoping to get to some sewing this week, now that I am settled in to my new digs for 2.5 months.
WOWZER what a great block! Your piecing is perfect. Love your color
choices. Your block really pops. Makes me itch to sew. Lol
