Rising sun quilt in neutrals

I’ve started on my next quilt.  This one is intended to be a wedding present for a friend of mine.  It’s going a rather slowly so far.  After five attempts, I finished my first foundation paper pieced block:

It wasn’t hard, per se, but the approach is very intolerant of mistakes.  I have not had a chance to ask Google if there is in fact a way to fix mistakes.  In any event, I need twenty-four of these, and they’re taking at least an hour apiece.

I may decide to make the quilt smaller than originally planned.

The design is from Friedlander’s Savor Each Stitch.
