I wanted to sew more rectangles and cut triangles yesterday morning but I knew I had to get the other sample made for the Turning Twenty Just got Better class. This isn't my type of fabric but I chose 2 totally different groups for kits for the store. I went to the church sewing circle in the afternoon, stopping at 2 stores on the way home rather than make another trip.
I finished making the blocks for the class sample last night and then got brave and cut the first triangles for my quilt. I won't sew any together until I have them all cut and can play with an arrangement. In the book it says to starch the rectangles before cutting. I rarely ever use starch but I did on these because the stripe fabrics are very thin and the rectangle would have moved as I was cutting. They suggested very stiff, but I just did one layer of starch and that worked fine.
