So sorry about the stolen quilts, Jolo. 
Hope the thief is caught and that the quilts are returned to you.
Here's my triangles for Quilt #2. The colors are much more vibrant in person.

And here are the squares that they'll be going with.

moonrise, love your blocks and triangles. i'll love it when it's together, I like scrappys and am starting to love the look of a controlled scrapy. love your blocks.
2 years ago, I had a print on the wall outside my bedroom. for over two weeks, I didn't notice it missing. on Christmas eve, I got out of bed, and noticed it gone!!! asked my dh, he said he didn't notice it. I figured my cleaning lady broke it and hid it. the next day, my dh pulled it out, he had it professionally framed. Lets hope for the best.

Goodness, I didn't read all the posts before mine...what a lot I missed! Baby kittens, pretty squares and triangles...what great combos! Jolo, there are no words to console, but know that you are in my prayers, and that there is a happy outcome.
Moonrise...love your 'made' fabrics! Everyone's doing great work!
Lynnie, chicken foot is a game played with dominoes. Easy and fun. We play it every third Saturday. The other two Saturdays we play Yahtze and Sequence. They're the only games my mom remembers how to play. Also, today I thought of your signature line...that was me today, for sure!

What beautiful triangles coming together. Those with the same light, could turn out interesting also.
Saw the cutie kitten, how wonderful that you heard that baby crying and could get to her in time.
Sorry to hear about the missing quilts, I would be angry too. :/
Now I need to get moving on those triangles, we had a long long weekend with family and a funeral. It will be nice to sit quietly and sew and get some Me TIME.

Okay don't have many 4" squares in my scraps and was procrastinating about what I was going to do. Then someone mentioned 4" charms, I have two shoe boxes full of those. I hope I can find enough light and medium light in those!

Thanks! My stash has dwindled down so low that I don't have much yardage at the moment, so this swap has worked out well for using up my scraps. Some unexpected dental bills last year, home repair bills, and bottle-raising a "surprise" newborn kitten that turned up literally beside our doorstep kind of messed up our play money, but I'll re-stock my stash soon.
Here are some photos of Quilt #1's pieces so far. My triangles are a little oversized, in case of "operator error". I always cut them a smidge too big anyway. I'll wait and see what the next step is before trimming them.

And here's the blocks they go with:

Here's the kitten at 2 days old, in my husband's hand. He still had his umbilical cord and wasn't much bigger than a roll of quarters. His mom (apparently a stray) either abandoned him or something happened to her. The kitten was behind the bushes beside our front porch, crying his little heart out. Luckily I heard him. I watched through the window, and waited for hours, but the mom never showed back up. Hubby was at work, so, with great difficulty (I have a bad knee and use a wheelchair part of the time), I managed to climb in behind the bushes and retrieve him. Hubby checked as soon as he got home, but there was no sign of any other kittens. He's almost 6 months old now, and is doing great. Strong as an ox! (Pardon Hubby's lack-of-shirt. 
)
