Hi Fran,
Sorry for the delay. Got caught up with "life" and couldn't get back right away. Sure you know what I mean!
Anyway, I am working from a pattern in a book called Fat Quarter Quilts by M'Liss Rae Hawley. It was published in 1999. The quilt itself is mostly "free-form" placement of the blocks, which is why it's named, "Mystery Sampler."
There are instructions for ocean waves, four patch, double four patch, nine patch, triple rail and plain squares. Each square, minus the plain ones, incorporates a background material which brings the finished project together.
Once these are all cut and sewn together, you choose how you want them to be placed and sewn together to make a truly one-of-a-kind quilt.
Each finished square is supposed to be 4-1/2 inches.
I was thinking of cutting my goofed up triangles in half again, to make 4 triangles, then taking some of the background material and sewing it into an "X" between the 4 triangles.
The match for this is kicking my butt, though! Can you help?
Boy! I would really appreciate that!
