1934 progress report :)

Well I have 6 of my 12 blocks completed.
I'm having such a good time making these
because each one is different.
I don't really enjoy doing the same thing over and over.


The 4 blocks I made yesterday didn't require the special
45 degree ruler that these remaining blocks needed.
I went to M & L Yardage yesterday and found this little beauty.

All I knew was that I needed a 45 degree triangle ruler.
This was the only one they had.
So I bought it and brought it home.
It had a little folded paper with it that tells you how to use it.
I read it.

I read it again.

and again.

Still couldn't figure out what to do with it.
And then it came to me.....

YOUTUBE.com!!!
I went to YouTube and found
and in a matter of minutes I was amazed
at all the cool stuff you can do with this!
If you are planning on working with 2 1/2" strips
in a quilt, I highly recommend getting one of these!
