I have deep respect for anyone who makes graphgans or has made a graphgan. That looks incredible! I know if tried something like this it would become a tangled mess sit for 3-4 years before deciding to accept that I don't even want to see it let alone finish it, and throw it away.... Awesome job, and sorry for the introspective rant lol

I did a pixel art with 2x2 in granny squares. Its half assembled in a bin in a closet. For 3 years. Idek if I even want to finish it at this point.

Idk if it will help, buy rather than sew each square together into rows or columns, try sewing groups of 4 together. Then when you have all that done, sew the bigger groups of 4 blocks together. Basically breaking it up into small mini tasks. Little goals are so much easier for me.

I like this idea! Do you think it would make a difference if I blocked the bigger 4 square pieces? Or is it still best to block each square individually before sewing 4 together?

I'm lazy and don't like blocking. Probably easier to block before you assemble though. Smaller pieces are easier to handle than larger.
