I did another group last night- they are so fun and with the cutting already done, go super fast. I like to set out 10- 15 at a time and then do them assembly line. IE - I do as much as I can on a block before I need to press, then move to the next. When the first round of sewing is done, I get up and do all the pressing and trimming(if needed) then start another round. it's always fun to see how many "rounds" it takes to get all the blocks done.
I've been thinking about ways to assemble, and that is getting me excited to get more blocks done. I'm thinking of going with 36 in the middle on point, then the rest around the outside. Will need to do some triangle blocks to make it work, but that won't be hard. I'll put all the "other background" blocks in the center. I counted up and have 35 with alternate backgrounds, so only need to swap out one more and I'm good to go.
I have a total of 49 sewn up now. I would have 50, but I trimmed the HST triangles wrong on one and when all sewn, it's too small. Hmmm- since I have to recut that one, I might as well do it for additional one I need for the center.
