Your clam shell analogy was funny....sorry about that. :)
Yes, yes, yes you will finish. If my math skills serve me you only have 5 more days of working on your units until you are done! Truly beautiful, intricate quilts don't fly together. I know it will be something you cherish your entire life. Put the long lens on your expectations and you will be pleasantly surprised when, VOILA! You are finished.

Keep working on it. It will be worth every minute of every day that you put into this project. I have projects that took me years to complete and I am so glad I kept working until I finished each one.
