So, I've started a new project and I can see it will not be a quick one and done. It is my version of Bonnie Hunters pattern titled Smith Mountain Morning. You will find Bonnie's post on this pattern HERE and it is published in her book, Scraps & Shirttails II.
Although you can't tell in my photos, my pieces are scrappy, cut from 5 different half yards each of reds, greens and silvers plus I tossed in a bright light green and a soft printed white. I fear there will not be enough leftovers to make a border, but I do know how to remedy that.
I enjoyed using my accuquilt die cutter on this one. It makes piecing so smooth and eliminates the dreaded trimming afterward. I did take great care to press open the seams on the pinwheel blocks. They turned out so nice and flat. You can see in one photo that I kept the seam ripper busy more than once.

I wish you a safe and happy week. Thanks so much for stopping by.
Your progress looks great to me. Bonus points for starting an involved pattern. I'm all for easy these days. Hope you make lots more progress on it. Are you hoping to have it done by December?
