Do you want to know how many seemingly endless pieces I cut?
1,728.
Each of 16 blocks will have 108 pieces.
Yes. You read that correctly. 108.
That was two days of cutting.
Sewing began.
Mishaps followed.
This unacceptable seam and point alignment shown by the arrow,
the joining of pieces that are nowhere in the pattern
(What?! How?!),
and the unfortunate pin mishap...Argh!
The resewn seam aligns quite well now.
my liberal supply of pins,
and my withering patience,
I finally achieved some satisfying results.
