Yesterday when I said that I cut out the fabric... well... what I really did was - purchase the white fabric, wash all fabric, dry it, iron it and then cut it out. Now it seems like my day was far more productive :)
Last night I sewed, and pressed 192 blocks. It really didn't take that long. Maybe about 2 - 3 hours for the sewing. I thought that was pretty quick. Rather than pencil mark the 2 1/2" squares - I used the Angler 2 (by Pam Bono) to line-up my sewing line. All that is left to do is signing the blocks, and trimming the excess fabric/triangles .
Here's a photo of my progress - I've removed my name from view as a precaution.
