from left to right: TR-9, TR-5, TR-2, BR-2
Tris have never been my favorite. But after doing these four all at once, maybe I'm ok with them now. I need to remember to leave extra fabric on the outside edges, I so often come up just a little short when it's time to trim them to size.

TR-9 was the trickiest out of these four. I machine pieced most of the block but hand pieced the inset seams (at the right and left of the top two diamonds). They looked so nice!! I was so proud of myself and the extra time I took to do it. Then I went to trim the block and gosh darn if it wasn't too short. ARGH!! So I slapped on the two white side pieces. I'm not re-doing this block. But I hope this will help me to remember to cut all outside pieces a little big.
