Oh man!! Sounds like you had tons of fun!! I had to keep my squirt bottle handy to keep the fur crew off my cutting table!! We here all the stories of people getting their own finger sewn, it's going to be Lucy or Ingles that get their paw caught under the needle. Ingles will launch himself across the room and land on my sewing table. Gotta get sewing today so I can figure out how many more I've got to cut!

That would be soooo much fun having someone to make a quilt with.
I don't have cats to watch, but since my Molly has had sore teeth I have to watch her. Twice she has jumped on me and then on the ironing board. I am so afraid she is going to get burned on the iron. Hopefully now that she is feeling better she will be happy in her chair.

I think this is going to be lots of fun ya'll. I've got to run and see if I can pick up a smaller cutter tomorrow. All those little triangles are hard to cut with a large cutter. I don't have the rulers either been cutting the triangles with a little square ruler with 45* marks. Takes a few minutes to get going but if you can get a rythm they roll right one off.
It's much easier to sew 8" squares as in the attached jpeg. Sew on the dashed lines and cut on the straight lines. Gives you 16 QSTs of the size needed for this pattern.

I sew with a friend but she does not want to do this. So she comes over and sews her projects and I do mine and we laugh, and cry and have a good time. I doubt that I see her this week except for Thanksgiving, it is suppose to rain a couple of days and she will not get out in the rain.

I had to go to town and buy some laundry soap. I decided to stop and look around JoAnn's. They had the ruler for cutting these little triangles. I know I shouldn't have, but I splurged and spent $4 with a coupon. I just made one square for a trial run. It is the perfect size, no trimming, so I have changed my mind and I now love this ruler!!!

I really like them too. zip zip done! I picked up a little 28mm cutter when I picked up mine. Sooooooo much better than the 65mm I was trying to cut them with too!
