I didn't think it was going to turn out as nice as it did. I just picked out some fabrics that I liked and added a couple of light colors and stuck with colors that guys would like. Most of the fabric is from Connecting Threads. I did find three at JoAnn's. When I cut it, I cut all the fabric into 5" squares, then I cut them diagonally and matched them up with the other fabrics to put the HSTs together. When I sewed the HSTs blocks together, I put them together randomly, trying to keep for putting two of the same fabrics together. It was a fun project. I have enough squares to make a smaller quilt that will go to my DD.

Hey Ann, Thanks for letting me know you posted. It's gorgeous. I love triangles and use them a lot. Great color combo!! Your right, this would work for a man or a woman. If I was at that reunion....I definitely would be hoping It would be going home with me. Of course, I am lured by the polka dots. I love using them in a quilt also! lol. Nice job.
