The first clue of Bonnie Hunter's Quiltville mystery was posted yesterday. I nearly whined, but that's against the mystery rules. Bonnie! Where are the HSTs? The 4-patches? Why...why...why these weird triangle blocks? I don't have the special rulers, I am not fluent in Inklingo. I drafted the block and cut out the triangles, adding 1/4" on all sides, and used these templates to cut my pieces. I've figured out how to "eyeball" the placement correctly so the blocks turn out square and the right size. Hm...not so bad. And half done.
Hubby and I went out for a bit of a drive to blow the dust off us - and stopped in to a couple of thrift stores. Check out the vintage hexie print! It looks Christmassy with the big red poinsettia flowers, and snowflake-like geometrics-- and there's nearly 3 yards here! I have no idea what I will do with it, but it was too fun to leave behind.

ReplyDeleteYay! The blue "legs" of your units match - I'm not the only lonely one! Seems like everyone else is doing them happy scrappy, but I liked mine better matching. I have a few that don't match when I was using up scraps, in homage to Miss Bonnie :D
