Step #1 - Complete

Just finished clipping all the little dog-ears from 280 - 2 1/2" unfinished hourglass blocks for the Orca Bay mystery quilt by Bonnie Hunter. I am using blue where Bonnie is using black.  I thought for sure that I had the Companion Angle ruler that Bonnie suggests, but when it came time to cut, I didn't have it!!  I had the Fons and Porter Flying Geese ruler and I got the same result by using this ruler.  I didn't need to square up my blocks. They came out perfect.  I only need 224 of these cute little blocks for the quilt,  but I got carried away.  I will have some left over to make a pillow.

    I got carried away and made too many too. I chose blue instead of black also. What other colors are you using?

    I'm only making half quantities of the mystery blocks, so I'm WELL IMPRESSED that you've made all yours and quite a few spare :)
