Aloha Ripple BOW quilt along

I was wrong about the first step -- not flying geese but cutting the fabric.

I'm dithering whether to use her method of HSTs or the 8 at a time. I'd have some left over with the latter method but I find it so much easier.

I think I will wait and cut my pieces as we do the steps because I want to use my die cutter. I am planning on doing scrappy for each color-scrappy red, etc. I think I will do white or light blue for the background.

I like your way of thinking, RT. I'm halfway through cutting the blue/green/grey fabric and figured out I can use the magic 8 HST method for about half of them. I might have a few left over, but I throw all my half finished blocks/ components into a orphan block tub and make scrappy charity quilts from them, so nothing is ever really wasted.

I like the idea of doing this scrappy! I've been going back and forth about doing it as I really like the pattern. I don't like cutting anything until I know how it's going to be used to make a block, as there are some methods I don't like using.

Belfry- I like both color ways you picked, but especially the black and red!
I'll be lurking, I thought about joining in, but I'm still plugging away ever so slowly at the BH mystery... and then there's that huge pile of UFOs under the table, and the WIPs that are covering every horizontal surface!

Rob -- I'm beginning to wonder about my sanity in choosing to do two quilts at the same time but I really like both colour ways. I've finished cutting the blue/green/grey and will start on the r/w/b tonight.

I like the fact these blocks are large. I'm about wore out with the tiny blocks of ORL. Which I know is giving you a good laugh, Cathy, since you did a half size!

I'm still undecided if I will QAL on this project. I'm still looking for fabric to play well together in my stash. Maybe I'll make a small version. I'll look through my stash next week. I'm still working on BHMQ and UFO's, plus last years started projects. In the mean time I will be lurking.

Have not decided for sure if I'm going to do this, but if I do, it will be scrappy. I also won't use either of the FG methods shown, I much prefer using my easy angle and companion angle rulers for a now waste, no worry about lining up correctly. I really tried to get the "many at one time" method to work when I was doing the 365 block challenge, but it never worked as well as I prefered unless I oversized things and trimmed down. So I finally gave up and went back to cutting three triangles and sewing them together.
