Every fourth Wednesday of the month a group of us meet at the Attic Window to practice modern block piecing. Well, our friend Caroll is unavailable due to a family illness, so I sent out the emails to remind everyone. Well, I was the only person to show....everyone is away or missing Caroll's presence. She is definitely missed. Chris, the stores owner, was busy getting ready for the Grand Haven Quilt show this weekend and for AQS and her big move down the street. Even though alone, it was nice to sew there, not so many distractions as when I sew at home. I even remembered to pack a lunch - which I rarely remember.
My project this month was to try making a large block from all triangles.
Kitchen Table Quilting has a tutorial that I've been wanting to try. Scrap quilting is very difficult for me. She did say in the instructions that I should map or grid out my block, since it is triangles of various shapes. Nope, no me, I'm going to sit down and do this! After two hours of sorting, trimming, pressing and whatever, here's is what I can show for my efforts:
Choosing fabrics is so challenging! My friends at AW just pull strips out and sew. Well, some more trimming and using my 60 degree ruler might will help finish it for my orphan block collection.
