I finished quilting the little crooked cobblestone quilt and then decided to play with scraps. I have been cutting triangles out of most leftovers as I create them. I found another pile of older scraps and pressed and cut them too with my die cutter. I have a box of 4" finished size too. The ones in the photo are 2" and 3" finished. I love the nipped off corners that the dies have.
I made a sample block with the signature strip and 3" triangles. I was hoping the proportion would be right for a block I have been seeing on blogs but it isn't. This will make a neat dark lattice over a light background so I'll keep cutting pieces and making blocks.
There was an older Jesse Stone movie on the Hallmark channel last night and I'm sure I have seen it before but I couldn't remember enough of it to be bored so I sat and made some more cobblestone blocks and strip piecing while I watched it. It was a dreary day at 30 degrees and light flurries all day. I needed some bright color to go along with that.
