I had to cut some more triangle corners before I could make any more blocks. That is 60 triangles in the stack, one pass through the Studio die cutter with a Studio die, 10 layers at a time. That is enough triangles for 15 blocks. There is very little waste when cutting with the triangle dies.
After that I cut 30 tall triangles in one pass through the cutter, enough for 15 blocks.
I also cut 6 of each of these Marcia Derse prints so I would have some more variety to choose from for both quilts.
While I was in the basement I pressed the first 6 blocks.
I added some more pieces to the quilt at the top and the layout is subject to change as I keep working on it. The 6 new Kaleidoscope blocks are at the bottom and they will get their final pressing today. The blocks will be 10" finished so I need a minimum of 35 for a quilt 50" x 70". That means I'm 1/3 of the way there.
It was 48 degrees for a high yesterday and may get up to the 60s today. I need to trim my Zinfin Doll Hydrangea. It says to do it in late March before it has buds. My Annabelle Hydrangeas can be trimmed in the fall or spring. I'll check both of them and see if they need any more cut off.
