first steps from the piles of strips: sew the strip sets... I started with 3
then cut the triangles and make the squares, I have cut the first 2 strip sets so that gives me 4 squares, 2 from each strip set.

Have you seen this one? http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-89877-3.htm#2254410
Busy Bee is making a One Block Wonder. Her fabric is horses. If you copy/paste her photos to your desktop so you can enlarge them you will see so much detail. Maybe she will post close ups of each block for us later. One of her blocks has the horses standing in a circle as if they are around a campfire.
Good job on the wind mills, Joan..

Would you show a photo of how you cut the triangles? I am not getting a visual and I would love to set your tutorial in my

Ok, here is how I cut the strips, the ruler I used, another ruler that is good for smaller blocks and the 2 blocks I got from the 3rd strip. These blocks are not in final position, I just threw them together for a quick photo.

Here are photos of the tube squares for my DGS's quilt. The green/blue squares I showed before will go between the stars, maybe. LOL. I want the quilt to be mostly orange so that might be too much other colors. I'll just have to play with it and see.
