I completely agree about losing interest in a big quilt made up of just one block, and I think the only reason I finished this was that I was under a tight deadline. Quilting bees have definitely been an influence on my extremely theoretical, way off in the future projects. Making a last second, bonus log cabin out of Kaffe Fassett prints led me to amass a crazy collection of his fabric for a big log cabin quilt of my own...one day. I also love quilts made only of bear paws. And the snowball block is one that seems best on its own--it's hard not to love a big snowball quilt with a huge variety of prints. Thanks so much!
