MISTERY 2013 - WIP # 3

This week I'm pretty satisfied with the progresses of this Mistery because I'm well under way!
The step was 488 HST (2"X 2") ....not a joke!!!
But....HST is one of my favourite blocks and you can see here, here and here my HST  experience!
Since I haven't Easy Angle ruler, I cut the pieces for the units following my method .......even better a little "trick": I cut 4"- 3/4 (12 cm.) orange and yellow squares, drew the diagonals and then, right face with right face, I sewed on the right and the left of those. At last, I cut on the two diagonals and on the two medians.......VOILA'

8 perfect HST 2" X 2".

Love at first sight!!!

OK......I'm ready to go!!!!

Today I prepared my sewing area for my first Mistery Quilt:

"Celtic Solstice Mistery 2013"

I followed all the istructions that Bonnie Hunter has advised:

I clean my sewing machine and put a new needle, preparated several bobbins and a new blade in the rotary cutter, little scissor and seam ripper,  all fabrics prepared by color and plastic templates for the first block (I haven't Tri Recs ruler...!).
Last but not least.....my favourite music in this period:  Christmas songs from 181.FM CHRISTMAS RADIO from U.S.A. .......all traditional music!!!!

So.....

for this first part I have to make "ONLY" 140 little blocks with orange background and 240 with neutral background.....

.ONLY!!!! 

And this work for the next Friday!!!!

I have to say.....I'm a bit scared.......
