Boy , this waiting for the next block is hard to do!! I am ready for the rest of them. lol I may have to start on the book that I have on making 50 paper piecing stars in the meantime.

Do you do one wedge of SYE at a time or do you do it by the numbers: ones, then twos, etc., on your blocks?? I normally do one wedge at a time, but many have told me to do it by the numbers so I am and its sooooo slowwwwww to me. Still working on four...diamonds all around.

Interesting, Sue, I guess we all work differently. I work on all six wedges at the same time, adding the same piece to each wedge, seems way faster than one at a time to me. But I also don't follow their numbering and try to add the pieces in a way so some of them can be added at the same time, the ones that are not touching of course. Hopefully that makes sense to someone lol.

And re Bonnie Numnter, yes, Cindy, I watch her live when I can and follow her blog, she is an awesome quilter and teacher and even did a post on her blog about little me I am sew looking forward to her mystery. I did the last two and one is on my bed and the other is on the couch Yup, a Bonnie Hunter fan.

I do one wedge to make sure I like the colors and then I work on the next 5 at the same time working on the next number on each and so forth.

I do all 6 wedges at the same time. I think that is why I'm stuck on the log cabin. I've had a hard time deciding on colors for two of the sections and just stalled. I'm almost ready to take the plunge and see how it turns out. I used to just chop off a piece of fabric when paper piecing. This is the first time I've cut the pieces ahead of time. I like it SO much better and I'm not having to reverse sew any. That's a good thing!

So, JeanieG, is the mystery something I'll be able to work from my from? I imagine that she'll give just a few instructions every month for several months?

I'm working on Jamestown Landing from String Fling now and am getting pretty close to having all the half-square triangles done. Haven't done any of the alternate string (neutral) blocks done. I've done it almost exclusively with leaders and enders.
