I said tiny whine.... so tiny its more of a whimper.....
Whimpers are allowed right?
Anyways.... I have a little over 100 left on the wings (thankfully).
I hit a small snag. I don't think I have enough red/orange to finish out my strings. I'm thinking I'll just add in some yellows to the last 18. I think that will work fairly well.

I think yellow would look great with red/orange.

I wonder what the whole quilt will look like? I was scared when I first saw the pinks and blue stars but if you stare at them for a while they sort of blend together. Where or where will those other pieces go?

Ok gals.... I finished sewing and pressing all 350HST today. Now all I have to do is pull the paper off. I plan to do this in the morning (or talk my DD into doing this for me lol) and the citing paper into the size I need for the red string blocks. Hopefully I can get those started. I really hope if all goes the way I plan that I can either catch up or be very close by the time the net clue is posted. I will take pictures and post the tomorrow.
Everyones blocks here look amazing!
Now off to go find my easy angle ruler (where could that thing be hiding)

Okay... my little whiny whimper has turned into a Hallelujah chorus! Yep, I finally finished the wing blocks tonight! I squared up the first 175 blocks and they are coming out at just the right size. I just love the feeling of accomplishment that comes with completing a step... I wish I could bottle it and savor it forever!

I had to go back and finish step 1 so that I could make progress on step 6. So far I have only finished 4 of the dark stars and 1 of the light. I still need to finish the large string blocks but I am saving that for another day. I have my seam guide set for the 1/4 inch seam and don't want to remove it to work on more string blocks.
I am going to do all the dark blocks first. I cut those squares. Once finished I will go on to the light star blocks.

Wholeheart Mom, I just want to go to the Luau and that tropical beach. I just hope everything comes together with the colors I chose. Has anyong figured where the string blocks and the wing blocks will fit in yet?
