Organizing all of the pieces for Autumn Leaves proved to be a lot of fun (I like systems). I got to see which fabrics from the stash had already been used and which units and blocks were already sewn and then was able to easily assess what was left to do.
This fabric is gorgeous and really suits the pattern.
Here's an illustration of how the fabric is cut and assembled using the Thangles to make the 2" and 4" HSTs. You cut two strips of fabric, a light and a dark, the same width as the Thangles paper strip and lay them out right sides together. Pin the paper to the strips, sew along the dotted lines and then trim along the solid lines. Pretty easy, and the HSTs come out perfectly.
I kept my head down and sewed the remaining blocks as quickly as I could and in about a week they were all finished. Soon all of the blocks were sewn together and I had much of the flimsy together. On to the piano key border....M
