Hope you're still with me after all of that cutting! But doesn't it feel good to have it out of the way? Now we get to move on to the fun part—piecing!
We'll start small with the Shoo Fly and star blocks. We'll be using a quick 8-at-a-time method for the half-square triangles, making them all at once for both types of block. Easy peasy! The only thing to look out for is to be sure to lay out and piece one of the star blocks as a mirror image to the other two.

I've had a few questions about the QAL schedule from quilters who are working at their own pace with the complete pattern but would like to post pictures of their progress on time. During the QAL, we'll be working in the same order in which the pattern is written, specifically:
