The ninth day of Christmas I stayed up all night to start and almost finish Part 2 of Bonnie Hunter's Grand Illusion Mystery Quilt. This was after I finished up a wall hanging before I made dinner!
The diamonds in part 2 weren't that bad. I did the first method where you print out the pattern and attach it to the easy angle ruler. Very quick and easy. Nice! I did a couple at a time to see how they went together. Then I realized I could chain them all while doing the pinks first and then adding the black triangles.
Ironing was really easy when I did it like this.
This morning I sat down to trim all those dog ears....
I then finished up making all 100 of the double diamonds.
I'm storing them in my new basket I got from my friend.
Loving these colors! Click here for the link up for part 2 on Bonnie's blog.
Meanwhile Trooper is wondering when I'm going to play with him.
On to part 3!
So far it's been going well. Watching Midsomer Murders as I sew. At this rate Tom will be retiring! I'm on season 12 now!
I've got 90 done now, thirty more to go!
I suppose I should hang out with the hubby for a little bit! Click here for the link up for part 3 on Bonnie's blog.
Happy sewing!
