I chose to do the last round in all the same fabric.

Looks really nice. How about a scrappy pieced binding?!

My blocks also finished at 9"...I added 7 1/2" triangles, and trimmed a bit but kept the points. Love how the values of fabrics are emerging!

Those are both very nice. I'm thinking on a controlled scrappy for my triangles, but I like both ways.

oh this is really pretty! I have my small triangles sewn to my squares but wasn't sure if I wanted to stay scrappy or use only 2 fabrics for the big squares. I guess I better head back to the caboose so I can think about it.

In clue #1, the 1st week.

Poker Diva, your squares look great with the one color triangles. But the scrappy is the way I'm going. I have very few darks, so proceeded smartly to HLobby to pick up some 1/4 yard cuts. I'm a happy camper tonight!
PeginCO, it's rude to ask, but curiosity...what are the red thingies beside your squares? I've tried to figure it out all day. It's okay not to answer. I understand my rudeness, but can't help myself sometimes!!

Loving everyone's progress here. Our news channels are monitoring your
weather. Can't imagine the cold at all. Hope everyone is safe and warm.

Clue # 3, doubled, took all day to do but what fun. It's a riot and I love it!

Really liking everyone's blocks so far. All different and all so pretty! Thanks Judy, this is fun!
