cute.
love those polka dots.
Thanks, Rachel! I can’t ever get enough red polka dots.
So that’s what you mean by “press seam open.” Gosh, I’m a dingdong sometimes. I think I might try one of these with all the triangles left from MM last week. Too cute!
I like this one, we’ll have to incorporate it into our MM quilts (wait a few months until I get over the trauma of last week’s angles).
I was just thinking last night that I need to start a major stash-busting project and this would be perfect! I’ve always wanted to a do a broken dishes quilt.
Melinda – you can press the seams open or press them to one side. Completely your preference. I’m toying with pressing seams open. Send me a pic if you make one!
Tina – next month will be less angles to line up, promise!
Lisa – This would be a super block to do for a stash. Quick and easy
I like this one. let’s do this one for MM.
Tina, you are way too hard on yourself. it looked great!!
Looks great! Love the color choices….
