I have about 20 QST done, and about 80 more cut and ready to be pieced, oh my, this is slow going. I can't believe we are already on step number 4 lol.

I know what you mean. I'm afraid my sewing machine may eat them as they go over the feed dogs!

I am finished with step #4. I hope we are finished with paper for awhile. I have to admit I really do not like removing paper.

WOW! These QST's are taking a long time to make. I've been working on them on and off for what seems like days--I now have about 53 completed and the rest cut and made into HST to then sew together. But, I'm enjoying making them.

WOW you are on a roll!! I'm working on them between Christmas gifts I'm trying to get finished and in the mail. I swear sometimes I think I have ADA. I can only work on the same pattern for a short period of time before I begin to loose my mind and need to move on to somethingelse. That's my excuse for all the UFO's I have

I've moved on to the other steps and come back and work on these when I have time. Let's just hope there are no more of these danged things!!!

I"m telling you the inklingo is the way to go. I made all of the HST's in alittle under 2.5 hours. The QST's too alittle longer but only because you have to iron so dang much. You just print the pattern on the wrong side of the light fabric which is attached to freezer paper. Separate the fabric from the freezer paper after you print on it and layer it with your darks. sew on the dotted lines, cut on the solid lines, and press and your done. I never could have done the HST's or the QST's without this technique. It inexpensive, just $20 for the designs but you never have to buy anything again unlike the trianglations. nothing to sell, just a very satisfied customer.
