I am working on a sampler quilt - and it is a ton of fun: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-85319-1.htm
But I just got the wind knocked out of my sails with this one. I don't work with a ton of trianges, but thought I could handle it. Oh my gosh - it is so wonkey - I don't know how in the world I am going to square it up. . .any suggestions? How in the world do people do full quilts out of this? [ATTACH=CONFIG]150812[/ATTACH] |
Good Job going outside of your comfort zone :D:D:D

It looks GREAT!! I'm thinking that when it gets attached; if you are careful with the 1/4 inch seam to make adjustments; it might straighten out fine.

It doesn't look bad at all...trim up tiny amounts at a time :)

It took me forever to even figure out how to piece this. I have Deisgn Wizard, which gives rotery cutting instructions - but not piecing. Then to top it off for some reason it just forgot to give me diminisions on one of the blocks. The bottom right triangle was the one I had to wing it on. :) |
Pretty block and colors!
Just think-some of us have just made 600 of those half square triangles for a mystery quilt. |
Oh, your colors are so pretty! Some blocks take awhile to get the hang of, but in a finished quilt most of the boo-boos disappear.
And what a cute puppy in your avatar! |
not bad for going outside of your comfort zone

Is not bad at all. I may suggest the next time you try it, don't press until you are done. Press the fabric, starch it, wait until is completely dry and cold and cut. Start sewing but don't touch the iron any more until you are completely done. You may be surprise at the results. I was.

You might be able to fudge your seams when you join your blocks. Be careful to press, not iron your seams, and you could avoid distortion.
