I won't get much sewing done this week. I got a call yesterday that my boss and friend, she's 41, had a heart attack. So I will be putting in more hours this week at the newspaper. All I want is her to have a full recovery, so my sewing can wait, it will be there when i get back to it.

Well you got that right Pam. There are only a few things more important then sewing/quilting and that for sure is one of them! Hope she does good and gets better quickly.

Don't worry Ruth, I was behind you all at one point. I did not even have my first step done. But one day eveything just went well and I got all caught up.

Lucky you Mary has the ruler. I still have not tested my ruler or to see if I can make a template but I am sure a template can be made. All you have to do is measure the finished step of sewing the two smaller angles together. Then make your strips and use the template to cut. I will try it. Pretty sure though my ruler is just like the companion angle just a different company, Omnigrid.

I was checking out the clearance at this quilt shop and they have a kit to learn quilting for $ 4.50 It includes the companion ruler. Anyone that wants the ruler should check it out. I can't imagine you would find it for much cheaper. Well maybe you can, I have not checked. But here is the addy,

Scroll down to the bottom of the clearance items.

I know that when I bought my specialty rulers they were either on sale for 50% off, or I had a 40% or 50% off coupon.

Will have to try the link later, just to check out the site. Won't load for me right now.

Never mind, just loaded up. lol

That is actually a good price, since it comes with the pattern and fabric marker.

Its going to be fun to see how everyone's interpetation turns out. I dont normally like mysteries cuz I need to 'see' what I am picking the fabric/colors for....I am joining this one, mainly because I loved the title (my favorite soda as a kid).

I started out with one group of fabrics and then read they should be TOT/blenders...of well!! I wanted to do oranges/rusts but couldnt find anything that 'turned me on'...so I going with a brown/cream monocromatic scheme

thanks, Pam...I am leaving for a 4 day quilting frenzy at my sister's on Wednesday and am taking this with me...maybe I will post my progress when I get home

Actually it is with scrappy colors untill futher along steps and even then Bonnie said it can be scrappy. Hmmm, I do however like the orange rust idea, and I have some fabric perfect. The question is what fabric to go with it. That step further along, you have too have at least four different colors. I will have to think on this one!
