Jane Stickle Retreat

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.

  3. 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!

  7. I love how you seem to be using a light in stripy shapes for the center strings. Makes it sew much more ALIVE!

  9. 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!

    1. Yes, I'm using squares which is rather foolish. The cutoff triangles are various sizes and I'm not saving them.
