Charlie Brown?

It wasn't suppose to look like a Charlie Brown quilt, but that's what my husband says it looks like. He's right (just this one time.) Thank goodness for my cheesy design wall, because this thing has made my eyes go crazy trying to keep things going the right direction. It's been slow going (started this in April) with the little squares for this and I've changed them all around dozens of times before starting to put them together. I just want it off my wall so I can move on to other "shiny objects" and all those join-in things I got myself into.

It's getting closer to the finish....whew!
The colors don't photograph to their true color at all--dang!

Triangles!

I've been wanting to make a two color quilt, so I bought some bright green and plain black charm packs from Green Fairy Quilts. The pictures don't quite do justice to how pretty a green it really is. Having seen this fun and easy technique on making triangles, I thought I'd attempt them. I love it!
Put two squares right-sides together and
sew around all four edges.
Cut corner to corner and then
corner to corner the other direction.
Open up each cut triangle to get these cute
little blocks--iron them open.
Arrange the squares in a pattern of your liking--I
like it this way for this quilt.
Now I just need to sew all those little blocks
together, which may take a while.

To be continued...hopefully...with a finished quilt.
