Whitepine, you are a gem. I have followed these mysteries, tried a couple of them and so enjoyed doing them. I also have enjoyed watching and traveling along with everyone. Now I can get the instructions. I can't say I have a favorite, but do enjoy the table runners or table toppers that have the ability to become a full size quilt if you want. It give a chance to work on something, accomplish it as is, or go on and make something bigger because it works for both. Thank you so much Judy for all, and thank you all for the entertainment. When you are down, it sure picks you up!!!

Ole! I needed to make mine a bit bigger, plus I didn't have enough left of the black anyway. So, the old piano keys work again. And I used up almost all of that batik. Judy, I have a question? Those setting triangles fit so well....is there a formula for making those? I can kind of figure them out using the Pythagorean theorem (from high school no less), but is there an easier way?

Love your piano keys, they look great. As to the setting triangles, I just sort of measured how big they needed to be on the one side, adding a bit for the seam allowence, and figured how big a square woudl be. Real scientific, huh? I know somewhere on the web there will be a table telling you how big to make them, but sorry, I can't help there. I'm a seat-of-the-pants kind of quilter, and sometimes it works, sometimes not. LOL
