I am making the Orion Star with Thangles. Involves triangles turned different ways. Not hard. I make the first six units with one set of colors. Perfect. I am flying along! I take them down from the design wall and set them aside.

I start the second set of coordinating colors. Make a unit. Put it up on my design wall. This was my mistake. Im such a dunce. I used this one as a pattern without looking really close. 20 sets of 8 triangles later I try to put the big block together and it doesnt go. They are all pieced facing the wrong way. I rip them apart.

I will be danged if I dont do it AGAIN!!! except this time I turn them 90 degrees the other way. By this time, they are a wobbly mess. Luckily the pattern allows for extra and I am not short fabric or Thangles.

I had planned on sewing all evening....I think TV sounds good right now.
