Progress on Brothers and Sisters

There is a finish in my sights on this project!  I managed to cut 6 of the pink pieces wrong, then had to re-cut them, but I persevered and now the top and bottom orders are pieced!

Now I just need to piece the cornerstones and I can sew these babies onto the quilt - then just one more solid border and the top is ready to go.

Also I gave a customer at the quilt shop a great tip today.  She was trying to arrange some fabrics in order from light to dark.

I showed her how to use her cell phone camera to take a black and white shot of the fabrics to see if anything looks out of order.  She loved my tip and is ready to go cut and sew her strips now.

Have you learned any great new tips lately?
