To make the quilts I have started in the last 2 posts, I just have to divide my fabric into 2 groups, lighter and darker. As I cut the triangles I lay them on the table staggered so I can see all of the choices.
I have made the pattern in yesterday's quilt many times before. Someone without an email address yesterday asked what pattern I am using. It is simply a layout that can be used with log cabin blocks or any other half dark/half light block. There isn't a pattern anywhere. This is how most of my quilts get started, a few pieces up on the design wall until I get a feel for what I am doing. Here is one of the other quilts I made using this layout.
Instead of continuing the design out into a square I used large triangles to fill in the corners so it is similar to an Amish quilt design.
I have switched to the new post editor for the blog, and boy is there a learning curve. I can't figure out how to make the text start from the left instead of the center. Clicking on the align left icon didn't work after I added the second picture. I can see there are some new useful things here but it will take me awhile to figure this all out. It is like starting all over again with a blog. I can't see spellcheck up there either. Now I will really have to proofread each entry carefully.
With this new editor we can add up to 10 pages to be listed under the word "home" at the top right of my page. I will be grouping pictures of quilts made from similar methods onto each of the pages. All of these quilts have been published before but you had to go back through a zillion blog pages to find them. I will try to add a new page every few days. You can just click on the title of the page and get to it and return to the main page by clicking on Home.
