ScubaK - I did my unit 3s using paper piecing. Every one came out perfect the first time. If you are new to paper piecing - it's a very easy block to use for learning. I did have to draft my template myself but that was easy peasy - just followed Bonnie's instructions in the first method she described.

Krisb, don't recall hearing a rant out of you... :o
Carol in WI, great fabrics you have chosen! ScubaK, what worked easiest for me on the clue 3 units was cutting the neutral end triangles out of strips, using the Easy Angle ruler. Then the center parallelograms: also cut from strips. I wasn't sure what markings on the Easy Angle ruler to use for those until I saw Macybaby's tute. I just followed her pictures and cut them as she did. Everything went together easily and I could press both seams the same direction, like we were supposed to. Macybaby's tute is in post #925, and her first two photos show exactly how to cut the parallelograms with the Easy Angle ruler. I'm so glad we haven't been asked to sew hourglasses, or tri-recs, yet. I don't enjoy those. Hope my luck holds! |

Alvastitcher, I hope your laser surgery went well and you will be back in your sew mojo quickly.
Jeanne S, smart move on just being a bystander and taking it all in...it is a challenge given that it is the busy Christmas season. Imanna and TheMerkleFamiy...kudos for taking on Bonnie Hunter’s Mystery as your first mystery. Keep up the good work. |
Well finished pressing and trimming clue 3, so any free sewing time until Fri will be working on preparing the ORL back.
|
15 more of clue 3 left to go!!! I'm hoping the next clue isn't making 400 of something! ;)

Down to my last 4 strips of #3 and I hae to stop wash and starch another yd of green- my melon.
I hope we are not making string blocks for this quilt because I'm not doing scrappy, they would look very blah in cream grunge. ;) |
