This mystery project has become an obsession!
When I started the "Oh say can you sew" mystery I had no idea I'd be sewing over a thousand 1" HST blocks in August. I have put aside everything else I had been working on to be able to keep up with this mystery.
The repetitive process involves sewing fabric to paper, cutting out the blocks, counting pieces, clipping dog ears, depapering, and finally making the blocks. And for some blocks, unsewing and remaking the darn thing!
Here are the blocks sewn this week. I'll just keep sewing these and hope I'll be ready when the next clue of this mystery is posted. But honestly my brain is quite bored of this repetitiveness and I will be so happy to sew something else in September. And my blog will be more interesting then too!Linking up to Design Wall Monday

Oh My - that is a LOT of HST blocks to make. Looks like a very interesting start for a mystery.
I love your blocks, but can't imagine how much time and attention it is taking to keep up!
I'm feeling your pain. I'm working on the same thing.
That is a LOT of little triangles.
I’m trying to keep up while working on my other primary project. So far I’ve done fine but this month I doubt I’ll make the deadline. I sure hope I love the quilt so it will be worth the work!
It's going to look amazing! I love the look of a gazillion triangles, but wowsers, the effort involved! And it looks like yours are much more precise than mine ever are. Just don't have the patience I suppose.:)
Sometimes it is nice to have boring sewing to do...but haha watch out for the oops! Just a way of keeping you on your toes!
