But, right now I am wrapping gifts for my three girls (including DIL ) who have birthdays this week. Tomorrow is shop and mail day, so I will have to wait until Wednesday to play.

Whoa -- Margo thank you for the visual because I was scratching my head trying to picture it. :shock:

Annis dear one -- we all love you deeply but you are beginning to scare us with your deep affection of all these tiny block creations. Perhaps we should all gather for an intervention?

That way we could each remove one of these tiny temptations from your home and take them back home with us.....just to keep you safe from yourself, of course!

I am really looking forward to watching all of you play with your HSTs when they arrive.

If you cut a 1 1/4" square off the corner opposite the seam that will leave you with 1 1/4" triangles. I will do a tutorial on my blog when I do the practice ones. There is only one quilt. It uses both blocks. The quilts that I will be using the remaining triangles on will be future designs.

Scoopie OFFLINE Posts: 1149 Thank you received: 160	Annis, you lost me! How do cut a HST into 4 pieces? Are you cutting the seam off? But, now you've got me thinking! I love and have done minis before, so maybe that is the direction I will go. Also, I only see one quilt. Did you post two? Dawn In beautiful (Sunny and COLD) Montana

After looking through a block book I decided the sampler quilt was out. It would end up being too big with the blocks I wanted to use. Then I had another idea. I'm thinking of cutting my blocks into 4 pieces which will make 2 triangle-squares and a light and a dark square which will finish at 3/4". Since I'm more into miniatures now this is not too small for me. I will remove the paper before cutting and pressing and pin it to one of the triangles and save those for other projects. I will press the seams open on the triangles. I searched through Jinny Beyer's "The Quilters Album of Patchwork Patterns" for blocks that could be made with 1/3 triangles, 1/3 light squares, and 1/3 dark squares. I found a few and this is 2 of them called Kaleidoscope and Endless Chain with slight changes to give me more triangles plus I rotated some of the triangles for a different look. I will need an additional 4 light squares for each block. If I make it this size I will need 700 triangles. With a 2" border it will finish at 34" x 46". There will be no applique on my quilt. I'm thinking of naming it Linked Together in Friendship. I will practice with some of my extra blocks first just to make sure I like it. Of course I have the right to change my mind.

Haven't completely decided yet. Just depends on how many HST's I get made. I have a feeling I will be doing several HST quilts. There are just to many quilts that I want to make. To bad work interferes with quilting!!! Teresa

Oh, my gosh, you folks have big league plans. I just have little plans. I do a lot of children's quilts for charity and always need lots of variety, so my HSTs will be distributed among many different children's quilts. I kind of like the thought of fabric coming from everywhere being in the hands of some little ones. Who knows what magic it may bring into their lives.

Louise that is a great idea. I am just thinking of using them on a special quilt I have in mind. No real idea yet... just dreaming about them.

Thanks, Debbie. Wow!! 10 inches of snow on the Canadian prairies. So different from here!!! I believe we're in the seventies. The Super Bowl will be in out town next Sunday. We live about 5 min. from Cowboy stadium. I just got my triangle paper at the local quilt shop. I've been thinking about the tree of life quilt also. Perhaps as wall hangings so that I can give one to each of my grown daughters for their homes. Then we will all have fabric quilts from around the world.

Have a great day. Enjoy the snow.
