    Love seeing all the progress. Last night after the football game - we won!!- the girls came back to sleepover with my daughter. They both oooh'd and ahhh'd at my quilting. I was showing them everything I was doing so I might have grown a quilter.

    I made 26 week one blocks. I'm going to put the extra triangles/ squares aside until later so I can continue on week two. The scrapoy look is hard. I want to spread everything out. My slightly ocd brain wants everything to match.

    some of my blocks are off by a good eighth an inch on one side. When I did random size checks of my triangle units they were fine. But I guess I'm not consistent enough in my triangle scant 1/4 inch sewing. Will work on that and try not to stress over it. This is my first time doing any other than straight lines. I like it!!

    I still ill need to square off a few blocks on the left side but wanted to snap this before church and another full day at the football field. Go all stars.

    My progress so far. I have about half the broken dishes complete and two test units of step #2. Still working on cutting step #2 and a few more for step #1.

    Glad I'm not the only one behind.
    SusanSusan33, I don't think we are behind - Clue #3 doesn't come out until Friday. I think we have plenty of time to "play" around. I did a little piecing this morning and they are going together very nicely. Bonnie's instructions were very clear. Back to the studio!

    I would call it Dizzy! since if you put them together it kind of spins. Plus I went pingponging back to Joanns and grabbed printier-fabrics because mine were so dull compared to everyone elses...and then I spent the weekend figuring out how to PP ( I'd be done by now if I just stopped whining and cut them all out!)...and then doing the PP paper template backwards, then sewing the fabric on inside out...I must have been in a 'teen daze' (haha I don't want to have have senior moments!)

    I finally redid the PP template so I could be brain-dead and get it right! Possibly even if sewing after 8PM, my twilight zone. Check this

    Hey whatever works, right? Now I just have to cut the pieces and get to work.

    Happy quilting All!
