Monday mystery solo robin

April 27, 2020

Well it is that time again. Fenrir has had his moring cuddles and toilet break so we can find out what our challenge for this week is. He was exceptionally cuddly this morning and that is something I am trying to encourage so he got extra attention. Now he can have another nap before his morning walk and I can come here. I really need to either print a proper set of these cards or buy another pack of the print at home business cards. Shuffling paper is really tricky. The border this week will be,

Add 6″ to one side of your quilt

Yup, I know we have had that one. When I draw a duplicate I redraw if it is still a duplicate we get it anyway. Today I drew 2 we have had before. As time goes on that will happen more I guess. Believe it or not the sizes do go down to 3″ and I think up to 10″. The technique this week is,

Squares and triangles

Before Rachel asks, yes I think distorted squares (aka diamonds) would totally count as her starting square is also distorted. I think this sounds to me like a few quite traditional blocks this week. The side I will add to is 39.5″ so I have space for six 6″ blocks. There are so many that fit the squares and triangles theme I could easily make them all different. or I could scale the blocks down a little and have room to put some extra black around them, maybe even bounce them up and down. Hmm, that could be fun and I could use the papers to make the half square triangles again. I could raid blocks from my book, those are 6″ and several fit the desctiption, although so long as I have some squares and some triangles it all counts. Oh oh I could do scrappy stars. I have seen lots of those and I really like them but I have never made any. That would be a great change of pace too. There was me thinking this was a simple one now I have a head full of ideas again. Sigh, maybe I am alergic to simple.
