More Hand-piecing

 This past week I finished up the third step of the Harmony QAL, called Fancy HSTs.  Here are all my parts so far: the center Square in a Square, regular HSTs and fancy HSTs (with an extra triangle in the corner).  I laid them out in a fun design, but this isn't where they'll go in the actual project!


Today's job is to get the pieces prepped for the next step

After those blocks were stitched, I prepped another scrappy trips block in green.  The first one I did in more of the brighter Spring greens - this one is in kind of mellow blue-greens.


Here are all the blocks, plus the half finished one I'm currently working on:

I'll finish this block up in the next couple days, too!
