I have had this pattern & template set - for quite some time...

Tiny

I think the smallest of these HST's are bigger than the ones I am trimming off my own waste triangles! They don't have the measurements (as you can see by the placard) but based on my estimation, I would guess that the sides are smaller than 9 inches!

Did I share this before?

This flower was at the Cloisters in one of their gardens.

very inspiring - give it a flip through even if you don't consider yourself to be a Modern Quilter - or are not interested in Modern Quilting.

Yes, those are waste triangles! I know I "never" keep/use waste triangles, but these are so precious...

Unfortunately, when I sewed the second seam I was not quite 1/2 an inch away from the first... I think it will work out anyway. I am definately giving it enough effort to make it work out! I am taking the triangles that RB is sittingon & trimming the corners & sides with a tiny template (Marti Michell). Boring work, but...

The top I hope to finish next.

I made an appointment to drop this off for quilting at the begining of May! (I've done quite a bit more sewing since this photo was taken.)

What I've been working on.

The pattern is in the book Transparency Quilts by Ringle & Kerr.

Mine is a bit different - I used squares that I had on hand so they are bigger & where the authors used long skinny strips, I sub-cut them, figuring I could handle shorter pieces better.

All of the fabrics are Japanese Taupes.

I pieced a back that used some of these lights & other lights that I a bit darker than these. The binding will be light.

I'm send it off to be long-armed shortly - with organic straight horizontal lines.

Where in the world...

Jacob is so enthralled with animals. This pair was not too happy with him...

When do you think we will have chicks?
