Monday Mystery Solo Robin.

April 20, 2020

Well thanks to you guys I know for sure it is Monday again. I hope you made better choices than me last week and had fun. Please please send me some pictures I am dying to see what you are making.

If you haven’t started yet but would like to join in the fun the first step it to make yourself a quilt block, or find an orphan block hanging around your sewing space. It needs to have straight sides and I reccomend making it at least 9 inches on at least one side. No it doesn’t need to be a square. Once you have a block pick a week and follow those instructions. Yes you can do the weeks in any order. Yes you can do more than one week in a week if you have just joined. Yes you can take more than a week on any instruction and pick back up when it works for you. The main rule of this event is all technicalities count. These instructions will keep appearing while we have these periods of staying home. No I won’t stop just because the goverment changes the rules, I will keep going while we are stuck. Yup I realise I may end up making more than one quilt I am sort of considering getting a second on the go so I can pick week to week which to work on. I admit that may make things just too crazy but I am sure there is a limit to how much I can fit in one quilt.

So with all that said, we had better have this weeks mission hadn’t we, firstly the technique this week is,

Pieced triangles

Our border size instruction is,

add 4″ to at least 2 adjacent sides of your quilt

 

Hmm, well those are interesting aren’t they. Pieced triangles, does that mean each triangle is pieced or the border is made of triangles pieced together? Yes, either or both. All technicalities count remember. For me I need to have more than one triangle, as it is a plural in the instruction but other than that we have a wide open instruction. I think I like having the choice of how many sides to add, although that will mean more thinking. I am sort of tempted to go all the way around kinda like a reset, but at the same time will that be too reguar. Oh decisions decisions. I do know it will NOT be more flying geese. I really need to give those a rest, but feel free to do some if you aren’t over dosed on them as they are indeed triangles.

Now I need to get this up so those who go to work have something to think about in boring meetings. I consider that a public service, providing distractions. Have fun and let me know how you are getting on.
