This was the first part to get done, Part 3. 130 pink and white 9-patch blocks. The block finishes at 3 1/2 inches each square 1 1/2 inches. I need more of the pink-white-pink units since it goes on the top and bottom. The total units being 260.
At this point I have about half as much as needed or around 150. So I'll be cutting more and using up more of my pre-cut 1 1/2 inch neutrals. With all the Bonnie Hunter quilts I've been making lately...my pre-cut neutrals are showing a bottom to their tote :). The light-pink-light are all done, 130 of them. Kosmo wanted so bad to be in the photos taken this morning.
I finished cutting all the pieces for Part 1. Started off with the indigo blue 2 5/8 inch squares and then lots and lots of HST. The finished unit being a square within a square. This will be 120 Unit 1-As. Thought I would never finish the 360 neutrals. I used the Easy Angle tool with 2 1/2 inch strips. Of course using my AccuQuilt cutter. Kosmo still trying to get in the action.
I finally had to give in to this cutie!
I haven't made much headway with Part 2. This one will take just as many units as Part 1 only changing the fabrics to the one cheddar fabric for the square within a square; along with the one brown fabric as the frames.
This morning I used the AccuQuilt 2 1/2 inch die to cut more brown strips. I need 480 HSTs for Part 2. Two strips yielded only 51. So I cut another four strips to work on with the Easy Angle ruler for Unit 1-B. This project just might have to be added to my "take to retreat projects".
I am packing up the SUV with projects, sewing notions and tools, sewing table and chair, wagon, game antes and in my garden BOM, oh and clothes and cosmetics. I will be leaving home for Temecula before noon. It is going to be a great weekend =^.^=
