Pinwheels and HST

Today is my "Plan-a-lot-amus" (nick name from my daughter) day but also my plan of action day.  Tomorrow the 3rd of 3 retreats in a row starts.  This one is 4 days and I am staying over so I'm trying to make sure I have everything I need.  I do only live 30 mins away if I have to come home, but who wants to take an hour out of their sewing time.  :) I usually cook all day on these days, but hubby still has lots of food left over from the last one so other than making him a big bowl of salad, he should be set.  

At the 1st retreat in this trio I started working on a ufo that was my Black and White Pinwheels from 2009 or 2010.

There are 2 more of the pinwheel blocks that need to be made and then there are 640 Half Square Triangles.  At the 1st retreat I got several HST done, and some trimmed.  At the second retreat I got more sewn and this week I've been trimming them.  However - I still have this many to sew together.  

Then I will have them and these to trim. 

Once that is done I can start sewing them together to make a square 

Then two of the squares will make this little sashing unit. 

There needs to be 80 of these units.  So now that I have listed all these steps - what I want to do is link this up as my One Monthly Goal over at Elm Street Quilts. 

 

The goal is to make the 2 Pinwheel Blocks remaining and get all 80 of the sashing units sewn together. Wish me luck  :). 

Now head back over to see what others are sewing and what their goals are.  

Thanks for stopping by - Blessings, Lynn
