It's so much fun to be back at the sewing machine...but unfortunately, there isn't much stitching going on right now. Before I can start assembling the blocks for the Color Crystals quilt there is the task of trimming up the units I have made so far. 512 half-square triangles need to have their dog ears cut off. It isn't exactly exciting work but using the Bloc Loc ruler is making it go pretty quickly. It is a lot of standing and I'm so thankful to have my Wellness Mat - eases all my lower back ache.
I just finished those first 512 HSTs and now just need to cut the fabric for the remainder of the block A 
requirements (the solid squares that make up the design). Once the fabric is pressed and ready I can cut it and prepare to chain stitch away. I'm very excited to start seeing this quilt come together because the effect of the randomly placed ombré units results in a gorgeous colorway and design.
There is a lot going on family-wise this week so I'm not sure how far I'll get but I will definitely share the progress...
