OC Step #4

Once Step #4 was posted for the Orange Crush mystery, I have been distracted by thoughts of needing to get cutting up my fabric and sewing together the blocks. When I was too tired to sew last night, (but not too tired to sit at the computer!) I surfed around the mystery blog ring and saw some very pretty blocks already finished. I finally had a few minutes to get out my fabrics and start cutting. Here are the 2 fabrics for the 120 HST's. I am using up some scraps to get the black yardage, and a very old Debbie Mumm red print. I quickly cut all these squares and will have to do my regular method of making the HST's until I get a new Easy Angle ruler. I hope to be able to post a photo of at least one of my blocks tomorrow.

Your fabrics are very pretty. It is amazing what a distraction the computer is. My brother does woodwork, and loves to go to garage sales for tools and I tease him and tell him I don't know if he is a woodworker, or a tool collector. I sometimes don't know if I am a quilter, or a read about quilters person. I hope you get your ruler. Have a nice day.
