Finished Part 5 today - now only have to complete Part 1 and I'm all caught up :)
I love sewing while camping - and I don't think I forgot anything this time.
Cutting 2" purple squares
Using a mechanical pencil to rule diagonal lines.
All the squares cut.
Sewing the small squares to the large squares.
Bonnie suggested throwing away the crumbs cut from each side of the block, but I thought they were big enough to save :) ....... so, I sewed 3/8" on the 'discard' side of each triangle, then I cut 1/4" from the block stitching as Bonnie suggested.
This what I am left with. I can make a lot of things out of 128 squares like this.
Like this mini pin wheel block.
Ironing all the blocks.
I bought this mini travelling iron from Missouri Quilts for $10.90 - it's great for sewing camping.
All 64 completed blocks.
All the mini 'throw-away' blocks.
All the dog ears cut off.
Doing some sight-seeing today up in the hinterland, but will try to get some sewing in later.
Happy Sewing
Allison
