Thank you, Lisa, for the encouragement. Actually was planning that for this summer, but an unexpected right total shoulder replacement surgery coming up in 10 days has made my plans run amok! Pushing to finish a commissioned quilt as it is.
I *want* to do this soon though!

I found that using Jenny Doan's method from Missouri Star Quilts is really easy. hatever size block you need let's say a 5", then take two 5" squares of whatever colors you are using and place them right sides together, sew 1/4" all around the outside of the block. then cut from corner to corner diagonally on the sewn block making an x and you have your 4 triangles. Hope this makes sense. She has a tutorial on You Tube, can't tell you which one off hand, but you could search her tutorials for it. She always give a great video demonstration on her little tricks. Hope this helps!

I put mine in a notebook and find it wonderful. Some of my students have "Ira notebooks" from handouts I've made for teaching classes. You'll love it all together.

I am always happy to see your posts. They are so straightforward and easy to understand.
Good luck on your shoulder replacement. I had that done about 10 years ago and the big secret is to do your therapy and keep up with it. I know several people who have had this surgery, haven't done the therapy as prescribed, then wonder why the surgery didn't help. Good luck.....I will be thinking of you!
