Have you ever got carried away and just starting sewing pieces together because you were so anxious to get started? I have 150 half square triangle blocks that should have been sewn into triangles not squares. I almost cried (these are for a clients quilt), but then I decided they are a design opportunity, they will now go in the border. I am making 2 bedsize quilts from Carolyn's mother's house dresses. They are going to look like old quilts when I am finished due to the timing of the fabrics. We decided on doing Ohio Star blocks using a white background. I think they are going to turn out very nice and very delicate looking. I have decided to put a whole piece of muslin between the tops and the batting just in case some of the fabrics don't hold up. So back to sewing triangles and not squares. I will post some photos when I get several blocks completed.
