Easy Street Mystery Clue #2 complete

My Easy Street container is getting fuller and fuller. I am so very satisfied with my own color choice as well as Our Bonnie's color choices. It's a good thing that I am doing two colorways. Even if the units do not make it into two Easy Streets, they will get used.

I am starting a small drawered container unit with pre-cut HST and with pre-cut Companion Angle units. Can only increase my productivity!!!!!

And as I was cutting a couple days ago I began filling those drawers. The only unit I needed was the 2" triangle cut with the Companion Angle ruler. The rest are to feed the drawers!! WHOOHOOOT!!!!

I discovered, quite by accident a few years ago, that starting the strip with the EZ Angle ruler first, set up the angle correctly for the Companion Angle cut.

And I decided that I want a constant background in my own colorway of Easy Street. So I pressed and re-cut 10 more 2" strips. They are now sewn together and need pressed and sub-cut. Easy Peasy!!!

Ohio Star blocks

 I used up my 500+ hour glass units!!! They are now residing in 62 brown/cream Ohio Star blocks. 31 are light stars and 31 are dark stars.

It is spooky how I really did not do any counting or sorting of any kind but just did two days of manic sewing. 

For the totals to come out even in the light/dark combination is really neat. 

For EVERY unit to be used up is scary!!!

 I really did not do any planning. I had a large container of brown EZ Companion Angle cut triangles left over from some sewing project. I do not even remember what project. But I did know they came from 1 1/2" strips cut with that ruler. I was digging around and found them just gathering dust on a shelf.
So I cut some more cream triangles to go with what I had leftover from my gray/pink Ohio Star blocks. Once again, no counting, just lots of cutting and then some major sewing time.

 Today they are all done and pressed and put away for what ever I do decide to use them in. Since I have discovered my love of scrap quilting this method works so well. They will go with whatever I decide to use them in.

I also went through all the loose papers on my computer desk. I threw away all the junk and gathered up all the "Bonnie Hunter" stuff. I have two binder notebooks with all of Bonnie's patterns and mysteries. I now have a third one started!!!! The first one had all the free patterns from her website. Then I bought a hot pink binder and all the mysteries are in that one (with a picture of Bonnie on the front). The third one is going to be all the quilts she designs from her Addicted To Scraps column in the Quiltmaker magazine. (Also all the tips and tricks she shares with us)

Note to self: Buy a couple more binders!!!!

I have started using an old pillowcase over my small ironing board cover to preserve the new cover I made a couple months ago. The cover is made from very heavy pillow ticking and they do last a long time. I had bought this material to make the leaders for my B-Line quilt frame. Why I bought an entire bolt of it I have no clue. Oh well, it is here when I need it....forever it will be here!! HA!
