I worked on several different projects at retreat. One of the projects was to sew the scrappy Indian Hatchet blocks. I made 15 blocks.
The triangles are all scraps from flippy corners or bias triangles from binding. There were a lot of black corners in this bunch, they'll be mixed with the rest of the blocks and won't be so somber looking.
Here is a link to more posts about the Indian Hatchet blocks.
Nineteen more blocks are needed to reach my goal of 80 blocks. I think this project will come to an end this year.

I don't think I have ever heard the name of this block. it has an interesting look
It looks so nice -it is really a great use of those little pieces
I love these blocks, and now you've got me looking up Indian Hatchet. I found some on Quilter's Cache using 4-1/2 blocks with 2-1/2 inch blocks in the corners, so I may give those a shot.
Thank you for sharing with To Do Tuesday!
It is lovely the scrap look of these blocks. Great use of small triangles .
Your Indian Hatchet Quilt is looking fabulous. Lots of pretty fabrics in this one. Looking forward to seeing it all pieced up. Happy quilting.
Looks like you got a lot done at retreat! So close to a finish on this one. Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
Whew! Almost there! Looking good, too!
I love how you seem to be using a light in stripy shapes for the center strings. Makes it sew much more ALIVE!
Scrappy goodness will make a gorgeous quilt!!!
These look like great blocks for using up little leftover bits! Are you starting with a strip and adding the triangle corners? I know sometimes people use a square, but that just gives you more cut offs!
Yes, I'm using squares which is rather foolish. The cutoff triangles are various sizes and I'm not saving them.
