Acknowledging that I have plenty of UFO's, I still succumbed to peer pressure and signed up for a class on the Wonder Cut Ruler at our local quilt shop. The ruler is billed as, "The Fastest and Easiest Way to Make Half-Square Triangles!!! " on the website.
Armed with my new ruler and a nifty pile of batiks, I set about cutting the strips for the quilt.
It's a two part class, with today mainly the cutting and beginning sewing. Of course there was plenty of chatter about the big east coast snow storm, that pretty much gave us just nuisance snow.
Here is my partial pile of strips....I went with yummy batiks because, you can't go wrong with yummy batiks!
Lot's of color schemes in the room. This will be a quilt to feature the color play rather than prints on fabrics.
The technique has you using the ruler to cut strips that then, after sewing on both sides, turn into half square triangles. It's pretty mindless sewing.
Here is my first stack- I have 8 versions of hst's to make. Since the weather is crappy, I may make a dent in this through the weekend. More to come!
