Wow, Ckcowl, you did awesome. I have some idea of how much 7 large flat rate boxes of scraps is! I think I'm doing good to fill one a month!
I'm at a stall until I finish this Not Quite Y2K top. I have the two halves of the top and bottom pinned and ready to go. Probably sew that after I have my coffee (still working on my first cup, coffee with quilting board is my morning routine now). Then it's the one seam down the middle and that top is done. After that I need to measure the funky striped border fabric against the top length and seam that. I'm still amused every time I see that border piece, trust me -- it's not for everyone! The border print part will all be in the middle, much easier than making it fit the sides. Usually I don't bother to pin or anything on that sort of seam but being the precise picky quilter I am, I will be pinning it about every inch or so to keep the narrow stripes aligned correctly. It's a poly blend piece about the weight of Joann's Symphony solids so will be slippery. It has an unfortunately wide selvedge, the company name/registration dots are about an inch in and then it has a lot of the little holes right next to the selvedge from the manufacturing process. I'll be keeping that on until I have it seamed because I'm using the registration marks to line up the fabric. When I'm sewing it I'll put down a line of blue tape for the proper depth of seam.
I cut and pencil marked the four corner squares of the alternate white for the purple project. I'll probably take that box to Tuesday group and pin the angled center pieces together -- I'm doing them as rectangles with the "sew on the diagonal line" technique. I have figured out a process so I can somewhat easily keep the various pieces together while working assembly line, I much prefer to do all of one step at a time instead of making each individual block but I don't want to have to constantly be holding up those white-on-whites to the light to make sure I'm using the correct one.
Today is bowling day which means it puts me right at one of my best thrift stores for fabric... I should probably avoid going there but the hubby is starting to enjoy a thrift store or two after bowling and now has his own things to look for.
