Wow, you can definitely see a difference in the blocks sewn sewn in the first group than from the 2nd group. After sewing the first group, I found a baggie with more triangles but most of them were darker fabrics. The darker triangles went into the 2nd group.
So far 25 blocks have been completed. I'm planning on piecing 5 more blocks then I'm going to stop for awhile. I'm not planning on stopping quilt making anytime soon so I'll still be accumulating triangles.
With 5 more blocks, there would be enough of the 8" finished blocks to make a crib quilt 40" by 48". I want a larger quilt, so this project is going on hold while I collect more triangles.
Some future day this quilt will see the light of day again.

It is a wonderful design, easy, but impactful.

SO here we go Gretchen..... I just love this project! I may play with something like this in August! I am so happy I figured out the issue and hope this helps others. I will post it on my blog.
It is turning out to be so great - It reminds me of the lattice that you put in gardens... but more prettier!!
ReplyDeleteOnce you make more blocks and mix them all together, dark ones from the second set will fit in just fine!
ReplyDeleteYour "nameless quilt" is looking fabulous! I love how it's coming together from all of those glorious scraps!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're not planning on giving up quilt-making any time soon! That does always generate more scraps. This is such a fun scrappy quilt idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea--use the scraps right away! I need to try that sometime. I love how your bright colors sparkle against the dark ones.
ReplyDeleteSo much scrappy goodness. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteThis is great way to use leftover triangles. It looks great so far. I hope you link up your finish when it's done. Thanks for linking up with Thank Goodness It's Finished Friday.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea for using leftover triangles. I've been saving mine with no idea how to use them.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
