I finally finished Step #1!! OK, so I still have to press open and pinwheel the seams but they are cut and sewn.
And it's not like I've been slacking on the other steps:
I've been having trouble getting the diamond pdf/template to print the correct size so the strips for step #2 are ready but I am at a standstill. Me thinks I'll have to improvise :)
I have also been cutting strips for Step #3.
And don't forget I already have those 80 pink/turquoise HST done for step #4. LOL!
I'm hoping I'll get some free time Wednesday or Christmas Day for some "fun" sewing so I can make some progress. I'll have to start working on taxes the day after Christmas so probably won't get much sewing time over the weekend.
And just because I though this was hilarious...this fabric was the perfect color for my mystery quilt! In small pieces you can barely tell they are onions.

ReplyDeleteI improvised on Step #2 as well. I cut the 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" rectangles, then used the Easy Angle ruler to cut off the corners I didn't need. I cut 2-1/2" strips and used the Easy Angle to cut my "corner" pieces. They sewed together beautifully at this point. I love your colors and can't wait to see your finished quilt.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress. I've done some of each blocks, almost contented.
ReplyDeleteThose onions made me laugh. It looked like a box of onions at first glance.
ReplyDeleteI think you are doing well with the quilt progress, but that comes from someone who only has half of the blocks to EASY STREET assembled!! : )
Your doing great. Don't beat yourself up over the time frame, just work at a steady pace and finish, even if not as the clue is released.
ReplyDeleteLooks great so far and the onions cracked me up.
your mystery quilt is coming along well, being a hexie addict have you signed up for the BOM withhttp://www.katjasquiltshoppe.com/the-new-hexagon-millefiore-quilt-along.htm I hope to have a go.
ReplyDeleteLike you I will stitch on Xmas day as my girls are coming for their Xmas lunch on 29th
I have not even started, but I have amazed myself with the output of Christmas gifts I have made this year.
ReplyDeleteOnions are fabric too! lol
ReplyDeleteGood for you for all the steps you've done so far.
Guess what? Katja has over 400 people signed up for the Millefiore quilt. Very cool! Looking forward to seeing people's blocks
It is all looking good so far, and I love that pink onion fabric, too!
ReplyDeleteWow -- you've really made great progress!! I *love* the onion fabric -- how fun is that??!! I can't wait to see it cut up--to see if I recognize it!!! :)
