What a good idea! And a great way to use up scraps!

I started this quilt in 2016 when Kathryn Kerr offered it as the 365 Challenge. Since no one was doing it around me I went to an online forum. I noticed one of the Quilters was listed in TN like me. I PM her and we communicated several weeks thru PM. Then we decided to exchange emails. Long story short we both finished 365 on December 31st, 2016. We are still
E-pals today (instead of pen pals.) We still share quilt pictures of blocks or chat about what we are working on everyday. Someday soon we will meet in person.

Some of those blocks look so tiny yet so perfect. What a wonderful way to spend a year with your sister

Truly disappointed that I am one of only a few who think it useful to know the size of any quilt you show. Are the blocks 6", or 3"??? If you provided the overall quilt size, at least I could guess. Just ranting here. Sorry. Not sorry.

This is a fun project, the blocks are 3 1/2” and 6 1/2”. I discovered it on Facebook in June. I do the current block, go back and do a previous month’s block. Gives
Me something to look forward to each day. Check out Shelia Christensen Hemisphere Quiltalong making a new triangle block a week.
