I organized my disaster in the plastic tub where I keep this project and pressed all the 4 patches and half square triangles that I had completed.

I have 44 blocks completed (the blue and white quilt used 100). By the time I have all the subunits put together I'll probably have at least 50 blocks, so I'm halfway:

Wow - very pretty! I'm SO impressed. For the beige & green squares - am I seeing things or are there some other colours in there too?
I love Bonnie Hunter but I hadn't paid attention to leaders and enders before. What a great idea. I have a treadle machine but still need to find a belt for it. I look forward to quilting on it...
Your leaders/enders quilt is beautiful! I aspire to make one of these too now!
Yes, there are some other colours in there, but as long as the overall of the fabric reads green or brown, it goes in. Of course, when you cut a 2" square, which finished 1 1/2", you'll sometimes get a gold star or a small red flower sneaking in there :-).
Andra: belts should be available at your local sewing repair shop or online. I used to use scrap fabric for leaders enders, but when I saw Bonnie's idea I started doing that..what fun. Takes awhile to get a quilt together, but you're actually making another quilt in between. Bonnie also has ideas on starting 'strip bins'. I have drawers. I should do a blog post about that also :-).
I think I need to hop on over to Bonnie Hunter's site and check this all out. I really like the blue and white quilt you did and think the green and beige will be beautiful as well. I need to learn about leaders and enders too!
I noticed you little scissorss or the bed of your machine--are those Fiskcar school scissors? I have those in all of my knitting and stitching bags and bins. I can't believe how sharp they are! Leader/ender projects are the best! Yours is coming along nicely.
I love that square (s). I've been looking at Bonnie's site for over a year now but haven't done anything about it. Must make that my belated New Year's resolution....tackle and subdue the stash leftovers!
