Nevertheless, I cut 796 triangles plus a bunch of half triangles from the start and end of fabric strips. This one is a quasi leader-ender project as I move from UFO to UFO. (Eventually I may actually finish one.) It's fun to look at your variety of scraps. I spot many Connecting Threads prints that I have in my own collection. The name of your triangle quilt could be "Tri-Gone" (trigon = ancient term for triangle).

I'm also using the 60 degree triangle right now but for a different block design. They are framed squares set in a wonky, tilted setting. I am using 1930s repros on a solid white background and I'm loving how it's turning out. I saw the quilt on Pinterest awhile ago and followed it back to Little Miss Shabby who gave a link to the free pattern. I hope that you are feeling better soon and if you ever want to talk to someone, you have my e-mail.<br /><br />Sharon in Mass.mangozzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05161843244215941676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697842410896958739.post-19688629403452448182019-07-03T01:47:00.273-05:002019-07-03T01:47:00.273-05:00So sorry to hear you’re not feeling so good at the...So sorry to hear you’re not feeling so good at the moment.
