Trick Triangles

I've been playing with 60degree Triangles-On-a-Roll foundation piecing paper.....

....and then,  I cut each triangle in half......

and made "half-square" Rectangles :) :) :)

Here are some fun block ideas with my new HSRs. HTR?

What should we call these?

I'm liking this strange shape in batik and black.

Not sure which way to go with them yet.

I'll keep playing :) You too!

Quilt On!

City Scape

What can you do with a strange panel like this?

Likely only 1/2 panel at that....

See; it's a very cute city, in back to back arcs. Hmmm....

No selvedge, so I'm not sure what it's supposed to be.

Have you seen this one before?

I'm making Divided By 3 by Kari Nichols for a Springtime Runner Swap at club.

I'm worried this city nightscape is more of a summertime runner.

But I can't resist playing with this big print on these giant open blocks:)

I used my phone camera to audition border placements. Do you do that too?

Binding is too wide, so the border ended up thinner than the little setting squares.

[But ThankGoodness for 24 hr. WalMart when you just

have to have black binding in a hurry, know what I mean?]

Next time I work in big print, I'll remember to cut borders extra wide to finish at ideal size.

I added the pink and blue corner sets, just to break up the continuous curves of black and white.

This was fun! I'm going to look for more big prints and go again.

Some of my faves from the last meeting I attended:)

Dresden Plate, one traditional and one modern.

How fun is this!!!

Shiloh signs all her work. Nice:)

Signature piece.

Somebody very sweet has a new pillow for her room:)

Genevieve says, doodle feathers every day, pen and ink, and you'll be able to quilt like this.

Corner sets quilting are also stars! Wow - Genius

star-in-a-star detail

Nice quilty bag too!

Shop model - because houses are cool.

WorkFlowy in Quiltland

Everyone is home in bed where they belong, at last. Grandpa has returned from another hospital stay. Alex is back from her school trip. Later today we will move furniture to make room for Grandpa's new walker. I love furniture shopping, and antiques, and a cozy home, so....you can imagine, we have way too much furniture. But for right now, I'm very glad to be having coffee and blogging with you. Seems every New Year starts with a little step backwards. Maybe now we can get back to business as usual.

Have you heard me rave about WorkFlowy? For this Totally Tech Tuesday, I'd like to share my favorite organizing app: WorkFlowy lets you keep all your do and plan lists in one place,
in outline format! That's why it works for helping you get stuff done- because your bottomless lists

• can be seen in their true hierarchical structure
• collapse/expand, so that you can intimately focus on relevant sections as needed
• WorkFlowy is searchable! You can even use hashtags:)
• you can cross things off when completed without erasing them

But wait, of course there is more -

• WorkFlowy can be shared, for collaboration on one document
• You can work seamless across desktops (you get the same views and features no matter where you're working, wish all apps could say that)
• HTML Links work inside WorkFlowy

But how does that help your quilting? Here is what I'll be using WorkFlowy for this year:

• Thread Catalog (so I know what I have when I find a great sale;)
• Reading List (searchable by author and publisher)
• Blog Calendar
• UFOs (status, needed supplies, deadlines)
• Shopping Lists
• Etsy Inventory
• Ideas!
• Things to worry about....later.

Best of all, WorkFlowy is beautifully simple. So for pictures, I'll refer you to this WorkFlowy Blog post: WorkFlowy is for Thinking, begging with Conquer the World.
I like how those they think, don't you?

Carpe Quiltum!
