Rocky Mountain Puzzle Quilt

 I have been working on the Rocky Mountain Puzzle quilt .  It is the block of the week from Primitive Gatherings .  Every week I receive a little package with the fabric for six more 6.5 inch blocks .  When I signed up for this I thought every week we would do six different blocks and end up with a sampler quilt but you see every week we do the same block over and over out of different fabrics .

This means that every week I need to make 72 little half square triangles .  Twelve for each block -  Ten for the block with two left over for the borders .

I have been using 1.5" Thangles to make the HS Triangles and it works well enough but I can't decide if I like the Thangles or my old method of cutting squares drawing the line down the center cutting on the line and trimming to size .  Even with the Thangles there is a lot of trimming and cutting apart and you still have the paper to remove .

For this quilt I will stick with the Thangles .  This is the way the instructions are written and I am not sure there is enough fabric for another method .  Just curious about your methods for HS Triangles- What's your favorite?

Here are last weeks blocks and there is another little package waiting for me in the sewing room .

Hope you are finding some time to stitch .

Trash and Waste Triangles

This little quilt was made from pieces I usually throw in the trash but after reading what Kathie from Inspired by Antique Quilts and Bea from A Needle in a Haystack were doing I went and rescued some  scraps from my trash and made this little quilt.  I named it Trash and Waste Triangles.

I totally forgot to post about my FQ Win from Quixotic Crafter.  I really like orange. Thanks Susan

This summer I joined the Rocky Mountain pieced bow at Primitive Gatherings.  I think all the blocks are going to be the same except for the fabric. Here  are the first six and I already have the second set waiting.

I hope you find some time for Stitching this week.
