Love both designs you've chosen but am considering--I, too, have some red yardage pretty much like yours that has been in my stash too long. Am I figuring correctly, that your 1/2 sq triangles are finished at 4"? That's pretty small but your finished product is fantastic.

illinois....I started with 5" blocks and drew the line down the middle on the backside. Sewed 1/2" on either side of that line. Before joining all the squares together the blocks measured 4 1/2", so yes, they finished off at 4 ". It gave me more seams than I wanted to press flat. Sometimes sacrifices are made. LOL

Are your chevrons made with half square triangles? .........They are so pretty and if I came along you wouldn't have to keep it long-lol

Turned out better than I thought it would so it's one I'll keep for myself for the time being....maybe someone will come along who wants it. Used some scraps to try a Granny Square and will turn it into a pillow or a wall hanging for a craft show this fall.[ATTACH=CONFIG]611394[/ATTACH]
