I'm glad this week's En Provence mystery clue involves making 3-1/2" half-square triangle units, because I get to start with leftover strips already cut for two other clues!
I'll use these til they're gone before cutting more.
I even managed to find three more purple fabrics that I overlooked before - or rejected for some reason.
Most things are worth a second look, eh?
I love it when my units come out the right size!
The tip Bonnie gave about holding the pointy end of the HST with your finger, rather than with a stiletto (or seam ripper) as I usually do, helped a lot. I got less wiggle at the end of the seam.
So I got 10 units sewn and ready for pressing, just enough to get my feet wet on the new step!
Santa rides tonight, look for him! Sew forth and sew on...
Yes, I was tickled with this clue, too, since I still had 3.5" strips leftover on the cutting table. Though I am looking forward to bringing the other two colors into play...
