Love seeing all the progress. Last night after the football game - we won!!- the girls came back to sleepover with my daughter. They both oooh'd and ahhh'd at my quilting. I was showing them everything I was doing so I might have grown a quilter. 
I made 26 week one blocks. I'm going to put the extra triangles/ squares aside until later so I can continue on week two. The scrapoy look is hard. I want to spread everything out. My slightly ocd brain wants everything to match.
some of my blocks are off by a good eighth an inch on one side. When I did random size checks of my triangle units they were fine. But I guess I'm not consistent enough in my triangle scant 1/4 inch sewing. Will work on that and try not to stress over it. This is my first time doing any other than straight lines. I like it!!
I still ill need to square off a few blocks on the left side but wanted to snap this before church and another full day at the football field. Go all stars.

I would call it Dizzy! since if you put them together it kind of spins. Plus I went pingponging back to Joanns and grabbed printier-fabrics because mine were so dull compared to everyone elses...and then I spent the weekend figuring out how to PP ( I'd be done by now if I just stopped whining and cut them all out!)...and then doing the PP paper template backwards, then sewing the fabric on inside out...I must have been in a 'teen daze' (haha I don't want to have have senior moments!)
I finally redid the PP template so I could be brain-dead and get it right! Possibly even if sewing after 8PM, my twilight zone. Check this

Hey whatever works, right? Now I just have to cut the pieces and get to work.
Happy quilting All!
