Wow Gai those are looking fabtastic. (that was actually a typo - the b is next to the n on my French keyboard, but I keft it because it's a good word! :wink: )

Now I HAVE to try one with bright colours, although the two lots of yardage sitting in my stash waiting to be OBWd are both fairly muted. Oh well, just have to buy MORE!!! :D

Are you trying the triangles each of the 3 possible ways each time or just going with straight of grain on the outside edge? Sometimes I even take PHOTOS of the three possible ways to help me decide. :shock: It's such fun seeing the sometimes widely different effects you get just from the same six triangles. This is what I LOVE about OBWs, the actual piecing process is such fun and interesting. That's from someone whose just pieced 124 QST units for a door curtain - BO-RING!!!! :mrgreen:

Um, straight of the grain?!!! :shock: I'm supposed to look at that :?: :?:

No, I just lay them out and decide which one I like best, then go for it. I have 20 done so far, so I'm calling a break and gonna go to bed.

I've finished my IRR center. My sewchine is working ok again. I guess it was temporarily possessed, but now is back to normal. But my printer is out of black ink, so I'll have to go shopping today to get a cartridge, then print my label and I'll be done. And I've finished my October doll quilt, so I'm actually slightly ahead of the curve! Whew!!!
