As the picture shows, it was a full day in front of the machine, cutting table and ironing board. Can you say....'ahhhhhhhhh' ?? :)
Attaching the 'wing' triangle units to the green strings was first on the to-do list. I grabbed, I stacked, I pieced .....and when I took a break.......I counted.
:\
I was eight short.
Hm....
I counted again.
Yup, still eight short.
:\
...**scratching head**.....thought for sure I sewed 64 strings a few weeks back....**shrug**... but who knows.
So, I was side-lined for a bit to complete those eight.
And then it took a bit to complete Bonnie's 'easy' request to make up "only four more" "wing" triangle units.
Only....I didn't have ANY 2" scrap strips/squares left in my purple. Can you believe that?!!!?!? Seriously. When I finished steps 3 & 5, I used the last 2" purple strip from my scraps/strips/bins.
....so I dug and dug and dug in order to finish those up. Remember the other day when Bonnie was asked if she kept 3.5", 4.5"... strips? I haven't done ANYTHING with my 3.5+" bin in AGES, so I decide to blow the dust off the cover and see what it had to show.
JUST enough purple strips to cut down to 2" is what I found :0)
And while I was sorting and cutting 2" HSTs for those four additional 'wing' triangles, I also cut up the QSTs pieces too.
So......by late afternoon,
I WAS DONE!!!!
It wasn't 5:00 yet (my predetermined ending time)....
I did some tidying.... swept up some dust balls (ick)....moved some projects around.... filled a couple of bags with some old, questionable fabric that I simply WON'T ever use ...
and then......

Happy Friday

Congratulations on being all caught up from one who hasn't even started yet. I'm not a mystery girl. I like to see the whole thing before I make up my mind about doing it.
Well done on being up to date with the steps. Love your colour choices. I'm still turtle-ing along several steps behind you.
It feels so good to use up all the scraps.
Great days work. The Scraphappy blocks are looking happy and scrappy, a small quilt looks just perfect. Sorry to hear you are running out of scraps. Must be a sign of lots of fabric being used. So glad you are caught up! Hope to join you soon.
I still have the triangle stuff to do, all the star (parts) are sewn just need to resize and all the wing pieces need attached. I am hoping to take it all with me Sat night and trim while we play cards- lol
Great sewing day! I think I worked at it as long as you, but didn't accomplish nearly as much!
You are putting us all to shame!!! You were sewing at warp speed - I love it!
Great job!! Now you can sit and watch the game tomorrow :o)
One word---jealous!
