Just completed cutting and counting 362 2" half square triangles for an exchange at one of our LQS using the Friendship Triangles book by Edyta Sitar. I will turn these in tomorrow, buy my book and get more Cinnamon Sticks that makes 28 half square triangles each. Don't know what I am making yet, got to get the book and see how many I want to do for the project I want to do.

Phew, I sure am glad that I did not have to trim all of those, that takes so long.

Wow!!! That is a LOT of little 1/2 sq triangles :shock:

What are cinnamon sticks? I have not heard that term before.

Wow, you have been busy. What are cinnamon sticks.

My hand hurts just thinking about that :shock:

Cinnamon Sticks is the rolls of material we choose from to make the half square triangle exchange from that the LQS makes. Each stick makes 28 half square triangles.

I'm glad it's you doing this and not me,lol!!! Have fun and post pics of the completed project!

So they are like jelly roll strips?

Wow!! That's a lot of HST. I don't envy you.

It is two strips of 6 1/2 x 21, with the triangle exchange paper. It has the sew lines and cut lines so you can sew all 28 at one time. I have never used a jelly roll, so I am not sure what size they are. I picked up 10 more rolls today to make another 280. Got the book also today so now I am going to study the book and see which pattern I want to make.

Sounds neat... if you don't mind my asking was there a few to join this swap... or you just pay as you pick up the rolls ?

You just buy as many stick as you want for $2.95 each till the end of July and return to the LQS and this will determine how many you will get back to make a project from the book. We have to have our project completed by sometime in September to show off to everyone who participated.

WOW that is really affordable :shock: And then they mix them up for you ? Can you post pics ?
