Marion's Miscellaneous Musings

This is the latest result of ongoing sewing therapy for the back. It took probably 6 hours. The dark blue triangles are 3/4 inch on the sides and 1.06 inch on the hypotenuse. (For those who don't believe in math, the diagonal is the 1.06 inch length.) The method was paper piecing, which makes for pretty good points.

This was not the littlest piece I ever put into a quilt. The angel of a few posts ago has that honor. (They are the black pieces, and you can't see them very well.) If I ever get my landscape sample done from quiltuniversity.com (it is next on the list) I think that will have the honor of the littlest pieces of fabric. And those littlest pieces of fabric are probably the reason it has been sitting around for two years.

If I were to do this block over again, I would replace the 8 small white triangles with a blue or pink so that those missed points wouldn't be so obvious.

I have never remade a quilt to make it look better. I just go on to the next one. And hopefully learn a few lessons.

This time I learned that you can't save time by sewing on two blocks simultaneously. At 20 stitches per inch, that was not fun to unsew!
