I found a/the book on Amazon, until somewhere here reports in you might want to read the comments.

Good luck and best wishes to you for even considering it.

I have the book and plan on doing it - but then I love little pieces! I may swap out a few blocks, because I don't want any with less than 20 pieces per block. I think the "worst" block I've done so far was 144 pieces for a 6" block.

Are

I admit I love a nice big 16" with lots of smaller subunits (not that Ive done very many but a girl can dream) but that many crumbs for only 6"....
Girl....you do you. Over there. In the crazy room.

There are no real instructions, just full-sized drawings of the blocks. You come up with your own pattern, either pieced or paper pieced. I have made quite a few blocks from Nearly Insane and Just Plain Nuts, both by Liz Lois. Love the challenge... once in a while. Have never made either of the whole quilts. Here's a sampler with blocks from the books.
