Block Assembly


The background fabric came in yesterday and I've set aside today to sew all the star blocks together during breaks from housework/laundry.   Long breaks...   *wink*


I calculated the setting triangles according to a method found online and then...  I found an online calculator that does the math for you HERE (link)!  I'm pleased to say that my math figuring came out exactly like the calculator... and, after cutting and beginning to sew...  the setting triangles are working perfectly.

Happy Saturday sewing...

Twelve Blocks


Despite a touch of some bug/flu, I felt up to a little sewing and managed to finish the last couple of blocks of the plaid stars quilt top-to-be.


The blocks are not in their final arrangement... I already see a couple I'd like to move around.   Now... off to compute the setting the cutting sizes of the edge triangles.
