Santa and Mrs. Claus were eating lunch at Macaroni Grill. I went over to tell him I have been a good girl and
all I want for Christmas is a Reliable iron with a generator, quilting books, and fabric. Sounds good, right?
I have managed to do some sewing on my Celtic Solstice every day, even if its 15 minutes here and there.
I have not finished clue 1 or clue 2, but I did start on Clue 3. And, with the tips from several other Celtic Solstice friends, they shared this great tutorial for making half square triangles 8 at a time.
As soon as I discovered this, I cut out my orange and yellows
and drew the lines on all of them so I could chain piece one side right after the other and zoom, zoom, zoom.
I will have lots of cute little 2" unfinished half square triangles to square up.
No more zoom, zoom, zoom at that point, but eventually they will turn into cute little 3 1/2" pinwheels. Squaring up to cut off the dog ears and little slivers takes time, but it's worth the effort.
Pretty!!!
Do something quilty every day!
