So many tiny little pieces of fabric…

I started cutting material tonight to make a tester block, and I was perturbed to see how small the pieces are.  Tiny pieces for a tiny human-grub.  I don’t understand how real quilters have the patience to make a huge king-size bed quilt out of so many itty-bitty slips of fabric.  I’m not even making a nutso design with 50 pieces per block.  Wait… there are 48 pieces in the block.  OMG.  I immediately regret this decision.

If the first tester block turns out like a 7th grade Personal & Family Life Sciences project (PFLS, pronounced piffles) I can always change things up with the remaining material.  I haven’t fully committed yet.
