This is the first piece of my Silent Stars quilt to be put together - it has just over 200 pieces in it and is about half a metre square. I did some math and the final quilt will have about 3,000 pieces in it (depending on how I finish it). I have about another 40 stars made up and 10 more ready to piece but I still need to prepare and add all of the backing pieces. Also, I need to track down some more backing fabric... I think I should have thought a bit more about how big this would be; I only bought a meter of it and according to my calculations I need at least two and a half. Just to make things interesting this has been on the to-do list for so long that the fabric went out of production 2-3 years ago - the internet tells me that some quilt shops in Denmark have some so I think I'm in for some hefty postage charges!
