ad no idea these little suckers would take so long to finish! The sewing is easy, but it's the squaring up that takes so long and for the first time that I can ever remember, my wrists are aching after a day of sewing/cutting 120 blocks! I even replaced the blade in my rotary cutter thinking that I was working harder 
at cutting because of a dull blade.Here is the result of all that labour!
The problem is that step #2 is more of the same block, with different
trimming until my wrists feel better. And I will just go on ahead to step #3...yes, I peeked, and we get to start sewing a different block using the pinks, which I am anxious to do!!

I like your colors! I remember the good old days when I could do everything and never have an ache or a pain. Now I get plenty of aches and pains. Sigh.
I have been doing these blocks in groups of ten--all the way through the final trimming. Would that help the sore hands...doing ten and then going back to the sewing on of triangles?
Those are going to make a great quilt. Will keep watching your progress.
120 blocks!!! aRRRRRR! you go ahead and rest your wrists, you don't want to be enticing carpel tunnel to your body! ouch
I haven't decided to do this mystery yet - I love your colors. I'll be watching to see how it all turns out!!
120 blocks and then more of the same? I hate trimming HSTs. I hope your wrist is better soon.
