In between all the Christmas hubbub, I managed to complete Clue #5 of Easy Street (a Quiltville Mystery). This step was easy and fun. I love the turquoise and purple together. I used Pam Bono's Angler 2 to stitch the little 2" purple squares on to the larger 3 1/2" turquoise squares. I love this tool because it eliminates the need to draw diagonal lines on each square. I used Invisifil ( by Wonderfil) 100# thread ,top and bottom, because it is a very thin thread and helps with reducing bulk in the seam when pressing the little square back. I also set my needle one click to the right to aid in making those edges meet when the little square is pressed out. I had to do very little trimming which makes me happy.
I finished this step just in time, the next clue will be available tomorrow.
I am linking up with The Monday Linkup at Quiltville, so stop by and check out what everyone is up to this week.
