My present challenge is a mini version of Grandma's Surprise, which will be on the cover of a hussif I'm designing for myself.
There's a good photo on From the Blue Chair at

Mine is having a very similar colours layout, and the nine blocks finish at just over 2" square (the small triangles are about 1/2 x 1/4"). And I'm loving doing it.
Am interested to know your thoughts about piecing the segments. With this layout, some of the wedges are only in the background fabric - my background is all one solid fabric, unlike the example which has several low volume prints.
Would you do the single colour wedges in one piece of fabric? Or would you still go ahead and piece all the triangles in the same fabric? I even wondered about using one piece of fabric and stitching on the piecing lines to give the illusion of patchwork.
And what about the blocks that have only two colours?
Interested as always to hear others' opinions. I think it's great how we all see beauty differently.
Thanks
