While I have probably done a gazillion of half square triangles, it is my first time with a specialty ruler. It takes me some time to get used to, so I am sloooow. But this mystery is supposed to be a learning experience so I am pushing through. Please note at the cutting photo, that I am very serious with rotary cutter safety. The cutter blade is unprotected, because I literally was in the cutting process, cut, take picture, cut more.
Some test half squares. yes, they fit to the right measurements.
But they do make for a pretty garland.
I am about half way through with my units... But I love huge quilts, and small units, and repetitive sewing. It puts me right to a meditative mind set.... now off to sew some more. Looking forward to friday for part 2!
It took me awhile to learn that ruler too. Bonnie has a video of it that helps tons! I took a class with Bonnie and she explained it and suddenly I got how to use the darn EZ Angle! HAHA!
VastaaPoistaLooks like you have made a great start on the mystery. I agree that it is very soothing to sew together lots of little pieces.
VastaaPoistaI feel the same way..getting in the zone. your units look wonderful.
VastaaPoistaI don't have the ruler yet, it is on order and should be in soon I hope, so till them I've used the magic 8 method..seems to be working so far! Great start! Happy Quilting!
