Cindy - I absolutely love the triangle! First I thought - wow, thought I had made that number a long time ago but didnt recognize it ....like yours better
As for Uncle Richard... yep I've come two threads of fabric short a few times and just fudged it!! I have used a single charm square in about 3-4 of my blocks. Then you really need to be careful!
I'm hoping to 'catch up' to my wacky schedule I made up for all of us before life got going....
So first let me post my latest finished block I12 [week of Feb 3 on schedule]
I laid down a needle and thread on that block because I wanted to share with you something I frequently do when fine points come together in a block. I make a 'bar tack' at the corner. This is 2-4 small straight stitches pulling the corners together.... a little shorter than what you would do at the top of a buttonhole. It gets rid of imperfections and makes the point look crisper.

I started to make triangle BR9 - scheduled for the week starting tomorrow. I am paper-piecing and appliqueing. Thatquilt.com states that you have to reverse or make a mirror image to complete this block. However - you don't really have to unless the order in which the two print pieces overlap to make the "v" is important to you. Unless I miss something else [please let me know.] The other caution I do want to pass along is that you leave enough of the print fabric to extend beyond your seamline - continue those curves! When you applique the background on top of the print, you will end up with a beautiful fine point once the sashing is attached. Now - I just made a picture of the coloring paper foundation pattern I will be sewing on. I'm doing the paper piecing this morning and finishing the hand sewing tonight. [along with the corners of H2-wk of Nov 25 and J1 -week of March 10]
