I am working slowly on my Double Delight mystery. It occurred to me that I cook stews and soups in much the same way as I make a quilt. I just keep adding a little more of this and a touch of that as I feel like it. I was getting bored with my selection of pinks and lights, so I dug around in the stash and found a few more pieces to include. Some are small scraps but

I was also bored with sewing these square in a square blocks. So I have blocks on the go at each stage - some have one triangle on, some have two, some have three and some are ready for trimming. This is a typical scene at my sewing machine. I have had trouble with my wrists with all the trimming (240 blocks to trim!) so as soon as I get 10 blocks with all four triangles on, I stop sewing and trim those blocks. Trimming a few blocks at a time has helped with the wrist pain. Thanks to Sara for this suggestion!
I hope to be able to move on to the next step on the weekend.

Keep plugging away! I can't wait to see it.
I like your color selection. I haven't started mine yet. Still in the "trying to decide if I want to do it" mode!!!
Ooooo. I love your fabrics. I've finished step 1 but don't have any pictures yet.
Those look nice. That quilt has a lot of those little blocks. Whew!!! Can't wait to see it finished.
Glad your wrist is better! I work in chunks like that too, as I get tired of sewing the same thing over and over.
I like these two fabrics together too! Can't wait to see how it turns out!
I am starting on my step 2! I will be posting a pix of bloks one. I like how you also changed the colors. This is a really cute pattern! I am sure your quilt is going to be stunning!
Hi Kathy,
thank you for your kind words....yes I will do the dd mystery (not a mystery anymore)! just need to finish up the orange crush quilt...top is complete!!!! Hooray! I love your colors for the DD...they are beautiful...I am thinking of using pinks, bright cheery yellows, lavender and some white/whites....along with the indigos....I like a high contrast and not sure that I have been doing that with the last quilts...the CC was for my ds and the OC for dd; this one is for me...oh, by the way, I am working on the OTR as well...just could not wrap my brain around doing all those pinwheel blocks at once...so I will probably finish the DD and still have pinwheels to make...lol...talk to you soon!
