I went thru all the instructions and wrote down what I needed to cut for each fabric and whether it could be assorted or matching. Still cut too many strips for some as I forgot I'd already cut them so now I'm just about done with cutting for #1, #5 is done and I cut the neutral 2 x 4.5 before I realized I could save fabric using the Easy Angle. Will use it for the reds and the grey sections for those steps as I don't know if I'll have enough grey to go around though I should even with the 2 extra rows added. Have 40 HST on #1 sewn and 330 out of 360 cut out. Will finish cutting them tonight before I hit the sack. Tomorrow I'll continue sewing the HSTs while my quilt machine is doing the block patterns. Its nice having a robotic system as I can work on 2 things at once. Also keeps me walking back and forth so I don't get stoved up from standing in one place.
This is my 1st mystery ever though not my 1st Bonnie Hunter pattern.
