Easy Street Part 3

I was still up at Oh-dark-thirty when Bonnie posted the third clue for Easy Street.  I was excited because we now have the instructions for putting some aqua fabrics into play.  I decided to get some sleep and went out shopping for some more black-on-white fabrics when I got up.  I had enough yardage but it was almost all in one print.  I found several cute fat quarters at Jo-Ann's and they just happened to be on sale for 99 cents!  I went home and got to cutting.


I was anxious to see how my block was going to turn out, so I completed one before I finished cutting everything else.  I like it!


Because I didn't have enough of a variety of  the black-on-white fabric, I waited until this step to cut the 64 2” X 3-1/2” rectangles that Bonnie said we’d be using in a future step.  I also cut the two green 3” squares and sliced those to create 4 triangles that are for a later date!


 I got back to sewing my blocks and was happy with how they turned out.  I did go through each one and cut the dog ears off, just for Bonnie!  Now, another long wait until next Friday!  Good thing for that because I've got some Christmas sewing to do.  Happy sewing!

  2. It's looking good Tami. Wish our Joann's had some more variety. I had no black on white fabric at all. Considering how much fabric I have it is hard to believe but true.

  4. Very pretty! I had to get more black on white, too. It's not something I keep on hand.

  7. Wow I wish I could get fat quarters for 99c. Here in New Zealand quilt store fat quarters are $6 or $7. Spotlight (a store like your Joanne's) have them for $3

  8. Thank you for the comment on my blog, Tami! I'm loving your fabrics, the teals are just to die for. Yes, those rulers are just awesome! I've got another project already in progress, I'm definitely using those rulers in it. :) I can't wait for tomorrow morning either, we haven't used any of the green yet (except for those 4 triangles we cut out) so maybe this is when we'll finally start using them.

  10. Nice to see your comment on my blog today, Tami. I enjoy visiting other blogs too and checking out progress on Easy Street. Sew fun and love the colors! I noted that you just retired and am thinking about that for next year - could spend more time quilting and blogging!
