My year of making string quilts started out
with these lovely color family isosceles triangles.
The blocks are coming along nicely.
They will end up in a few different tops.
It is possible that one will be completely blue,
with maybe a hint of yellow or green thrown into spice it up.
Maybe even black, which always makes the colors pop.
Blue is my largest scrap color
so there are a lot more scraps to be sewn up.
There weren't any gray strips lining up
to go into the triangle blocks.
The gray drawer in my storage bin,
has an abundance of strips so I may revise that,
in order to add gray to one of the colors
that's a little short on blocks.
That was my initial plan but a
color wash top would be fun too!
The color piles were moved in to storage bins in
the workroom to present a bit tidier look for zoom meetings .
The tidy lightens up the mood too!

I love to tidy up my room and agree, it lightens the mood. So here's the big question, do you feel you've lightened the scraps with all that work? Sometimes I do...but most of the time I don't! LOL. But you've made good progress and that counts!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I do, and then I receive another bag of scraps!
DeleteLove those triangles! They'll make such pretty quilts. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss. https://www.inquiringquilter.com/questions/2025/09/24/wednesday-wait-loss-451

ReplyDeleteI definitely need more room in the scrap bins. The diamonds are fun too!

ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you do with all those string pieced triangles. It's fun to compare them by height of color pile.
ReplyDeleteYes it is! I'll be making more at the next retreat, fun times ahead!
