Double Bricks and a twist!

Clue # 6 for Easy Street was posted on time Friday morning and looked to be too simple for a full week's work.  We are cutting 2" strips of background fabrics, sewing them together in strips and cutting 3-1/2" squares. Total squares needed are 128. We have "extra credit" (early prep for another step to follow) of 16 5-1/2" squares cut into an X to yield 64 quarter square triangles. Piece of cake!

At least that's what I thought!  After some heavy exercise in order to impress the surgeon of my progress, then showing off for said surgeon, navigating traffic and snow in the hour plus drive to the 30 minute appointment to the surgeon all took their toll and made it quite difficult to do any more than half the work on Saturday. Got up this morning invigorated and ready to complete the double brick blocks and cut the quarter square triangles to be ready for the next clue.

The twist is that instead of having the progress link to her website on Monday, we will be getting Clue #7! Yeah! While I appreciate easier work these past few clues, I have been more than anxious for Fridays to come to get on with the next steps toward completion.  Bonnie's note said that we are "on our way to a RAPID FIRE FINISH"!

I, for one, can't wait!
