Week 29 of Project 52, Fish Blocks

 Last year Bonnie Hunter's Leader and Ender Challenge for 2021 was to make fish blocks.  You can read about it here.  I had a bunch of bonus triangles from making blocks, so I decided to use those to make the blocks.  I sorted the HSTs and cut the solid block to go with them and kitted them up to use as leaders and enders.  And they got pushed aside when I made more bonus HSTs.  So this past weekend while sewing up other blocks I got them out and started making them.  Amazing how many you can get made in-between the other blocks. I still have a bunch of blocks kitted up so we'll see what I end up with.

Plus, July 1st Bonnie comes out with a new challenge.  I love using leaders and enders.

Oh MY!

Oh my!  I can't believe how many little squares you can get from a strip of fabric.  I did see a chart on Pinterest that stated you can get 99 two inch squares from a fat quarter.  Still have a ways to go!

A small basket of squares, 4 sandwich bags with 100 squares each.  I did get the rest of the strips out of the drawer and crammed them into the bag.  At least I can shut the drawer now.

I also finished filling this little case with squares for 9 patches.  I did do a few as leaders and enders (you can see those in the other part of the case) when I was working on my Hard Tack and Coffee blocks.  But I forgot to count them.  The cutting doesn't take too long.  The bagging the 100 blocks does as I'm trying to have only one of a fabric in each bag.  This will be a good task for in front of the TV.
