Trust me what you feel is totally natural - we do so much work sometimes and if we do it right by Michelle's teaching, we retake control of our lives - for some of us (at least I feel this way) the first real time in our lives.
But I as hard as piecing is, the end is worth it - you will continue to grow.
Good luck - there are some great folks in the piecing forum (and visitors from others forums as well) so keep posting updates!
Happy Holidays.

Never sacrifice the great for the good. Sometimes the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair.
