I'm glad to report that I finished the shaded 4 patch blocks for Easy Street! They're not as scrappy as the other blocks I made, as a matter of fact not scrappy at all. I swapped one color from Bonnie's and I used pink/yellow instead of the aqua. Hope it'll still work at the end, I'll keep my fingers crossed!
I was participating in the Google hangout yesterday afternoon and messed up the cutting. I forgot to cut from different fabrics and instead I only used one. Mistakes happen, right? And what was a girl to do? Just kept going.
It was the hardest step so far since I had to do a lot of un-sewing and re-sewing to get the points close. They're not perfect, but good enough. For me at least. :)I'm thrilled to be done in time to link up to the linky party here.
I still have some Christmas cards to make, write and mail and also have to work on some gifts too. I better get my act together, I'm gonna have to make a plan! Do you have a strategy to get last minute things done? Let me know in the comment section!
Here's what they look like:

Last minute? I have barely started. This week and next are my big weeks for shopping, card writing, etc. I really probably won't be able to think until Friday.
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of your beloved helper!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the finished quilt.
ReplyDeleteLooking good there! This is going to be a awesome quilt,judging by the prints I have seen so far :) No real strategy,just keep the pedal to the max and sew like a crazed woman ;)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty fabrics! It will be a lovely quilt. I ended up cutting all my large triangles from the same fabric, too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics and Sleepy is precious!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Your cat looks exactly like mine!
ReplyDeleteLove the fabrics! My cat looks exactly like yours and that's her favorite place to sleep too!
ReplyDeleteYour patches look fantastic. Clue 4 is nearly here – woo hoo!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first Easy Street I've seen with pastel colors. I love them! I can't wait to see the rest of your colors and the finished quilt.

Just a suggestion that you might want to add the Easy Street label to all of your blog posts about Easy Street. It would make it really easy to find them if they were all under one label. Of course, you may have a fabulous tagging scheme that I don't understand. In that case, ignore me! ;-)
