    Yes, you can hardly see the triangle, but it's there! I started these blocks back in '06 and it's time to finish this UFO!! They finish at 2" and are PP. I've included my pattern for you. I love the border more than anything and the triangles used were pre-cut from leftover projects. I tried all white triangles and it was too stark. Thank you for enjoying my mini! :D :D

    Thanks everyone!! No, my border is not PP. I made a template out of cardboard and marked the backside of the squares to get the angles right by drawing a line where the fabric should be placed and then stitching 1/4" from the drawn line. The corners did get a little wonky on me but I liked that! No, I won't bypass winter as these are FALL tulips and FALL colors!!! My tulips bloom in the FALL (in the quilting world anyway)!! :D :D :roll: :lol:

    Fantastic, my brain can not even imagine a 1/4 inch triangle. Maybe you could also place a dime next to the next one, my oh my!

    I would need magnifying glasses to do this. You are doing a wonderful work.
