Day 3: Cutting

I finished cutting the purple blocks and borders today. After cutting all the required pieces from the purple fabric... I had some left over!!! I am so happy that I bought that bit extra (or just miscalculated what I needed initially :D)
I then marked all the 5.5" x 5.5" purple blocks with a diagonal line for positioning on the 6.5" x 6.5" white blocks to create the siggy blocks (see Day 3: Piecing).

I was also able to get the yellow fabric ironed and cut to the needed sizes. This is exciting, I had this planned for tomorrow. However, because I skipped my Mom's Night Out to help ready the basement for my in-laws visit this weekend, my husband allowed me some quilting time before the baby went to bed.
