A little cutting -

 

 

For my Antique Squirrel - 

 

First - some Squares-on-point using my die - 

 

 

A variety of "colors" and "neutrals" - 

 

Like the original - 

 

Then I cut some HST for the corners - 

 

Using my LEFT-EZE™ Rule - 

First layering a couple of 2" strips - 

 

And trimming the edge - 

 

Then placing the ruler with the BOTTOM of the strip on the 2" line - 

 

And the BLACK TRIANGLE at the TOP of the strip - 

 

Then cutting UP the LEFT side of the ruler - 

 

From BOTTOM LEFT to TOP RIGHT - 

 

Second cut - 

 

Rotating the ruler and placing the TOP of the strip on the 2" line -

 

And the BLACK TRIANGLE at the BOTTOM of the strip - 

 

Then cutting UP the LEFT side of the ruler - 

From BOTTOM to TOP -

 

I tend to make my second cut a smidge too big - 

 

So I just flip it around and trim it NOW - 

 

With ONE cut - 

 

Saving me the time it takes to "square it up" later - 

 

With several cuts -

 

Two sets - two deep -

 

 

And a basket of Squares-on-point -

 

And a basket of HST - 

 

All ready to sew -

 

Tomorrow - LOL -

 

I still need to cut a bunch more HST - 

 

And I need to cut some 1-1/2" strips -

 

For the "bar" sections -

 

But this is a pretty good start - ;))

 

 

 

Talk to you later - gotta go- gotta sew -
