Hello, everyone, I am finally back. It has been a crazy month for me. I had my 13 yoa granddaughter here, and she sewed up a queen size quilt for her bed. So, I sort of got behind in my tris and posting. Now you are going to get 6 pictures, if my computer hangs in there. Some mistakes on probably every one, but I am the only one who will notice.
The first one is RS 5

Because I have only completed 5 rows, now I am doing the left side and here is #1

The next one is from scraps of the quilt that my granddaughter made. She was always concerned that she would not have blocks in my DJ. She will be excited to see that she does have one.

The next one is LS #3

And onto LS #4

And to finish up, here is LS #5

And now I will share with you that my DJ is going to become triplets. I have 3 daughters, and at first none of them were too impressed with the DJ, but now that the tris and kites are going on, they are really seeing the beauty of the quilt and each of them has put DIBS on the quilt. So, what I am going to do, is to complete this unit of 5 rows with the bottom row of tris and the bottom corner kites, and then back it with the fabric of their choice, and it will become a bed runner and be reversible if they want to. So that means that I will do 3 units of top tris and bottom tris and 3 sets of corner kites. Since there are only 14 rows, for the 15th row, I am going to take 1 or 2 blocks from each of the other rows. Got my work cut out for me. And considering that it has taken me 3 years to come to this point, it means that I really have to get the lead out, but with being fully retired now, I think I can do it. Wish me luck. The LS tris are not quilted, so please forgive the basting thread, but I did want to get these posted.
