I am still totally wiped out from my company and the emotions of seeing them leave. I hadn't seen my brother for 3 years. He is retired now and promises to come back again next year.
I took some triangles and squares that were already cut and laid out the Jacob's Ladder block. This is the one I am going to do next. It has the diagonal row of squares through the block and they are one color going to the right and a different color when it is tipped to the left. The corners form a star when 4 blocks come together.
The alternate piecing would be making star blocks and blocks with the chain of the 2 colors. I haven't decided what fabrics I will use, or even what colors. I just want to continue on with chain quilts like my 2 double 4 patch quilts are.
While looking for the pre-cut triangles and squares I found these already pieced HST blocks. I decided to just plop them up on the design wall. They will come back down today.
To clean off the border pieces of the last quilt from my sewing table , I decided to make a couple crazy log cabin blocks. I pulled a couple strips of orange to work into all the blues and turquoises. The one on the right is for Julie for her Alzheimer's Priority quilts.
