What I do have is a huge mess in my playroom. I have fabric all over the floor which is actually working better than when I tried to sort by color. This quilt has 16 lollypop blocks and 32 smaller border blocks. I have a total of five quilt blocks and two border blocks done. Completely done!
I have spent the last 2-3 weeks working on laying out the remaining 11 quilt blocks. It is a slow slow process for me and I have six blocks with fabrics selected and the components cut out and completely prepped. They are ready to spot glue to the polka-dot fabric. My goal is to get all 11 quilt blocks (and border blocks) prepped and then have a gluing marathon. I do think there is some "economy of scale" in the assembly line approach as I remember my "tricks of the trade" and don't have to refresh and re-learn each time I start.
I hope you are having a rewarding time creating something wonderful!

PS -- thanks to all for your comments and spontaneous prayers for the young couple I mentioned in my last post. As I understand it, Ethiopian adoptions will continue and they remain somewhere on the list to increase their family one of these days. Very exciting!

That block is gorgeous!
Pretty! Off to read more of your site, we are just learning quilting.
Those fussy cut circles make your block extra special. What a great quilt this will be.
what fabrics are you using for this quilt? stash? purchases specifically for Lollipops?? its a beautiful quilt and yes assembly line prep will help get it done before you are 90.
I absolutely adore lollipop trees...and hop to do one some day. This year I'm focusing on wool...as I just completed an applique BOM!! :) I enjoy watching your progress...your circles look esp. wonderful!!!
Such a pretty block!
Hi Jan so wonderful to see another block completed, it has been fun watching these blocks grow, and your fussy cutting sure makes them pop. Happy sewing cheers Glenda Australia.
I agree with Sophie. The fussy cutting always makes a block special. Love your lollipops.
What a fab block! Hope your floor doesn't stay covered for too long - and that your progress on the quilt is as fabulous as the blocks you've shown so far!
