Hummmmmm...verrrrrry interesting Pat! I CAN see this! After we got home
from the concert and watched a movie, I went back in to look at the quilt
again. I started laying out more blocks to add to the bottom and it
probably wouldn't take much to open up the diagonal seams a couple inches
and add the new blocks. But changing the original pattern really appeals to
me too! I had hoped to take the inner part of the top to Monday night's
guild meeting to show off, but I might have to wait until September's
meeting. Stay tuned. I"ll have to sleep on this a bit.
I took a picture and will have in my webshots album under "WIP" works in
progress...called triangles. clever huh? The bottom row has the blocks I
could start adding on to make it square.

You must be rattled ... you signed your initials wrong!! LOL
Could you change the border somehow so it ends up square? Suggestion:
one band black, one band of scrappy brights, one band black ... do this
for top and bottom, sizing bands to even out the measurements. THEN, add
the funky borders from Joanne's Pattern.

I've been furiously working on a workshop project this week so I can put
away the fabrics that are involved. This project is a combination of
1.5, 3, and 6" triangles and diamonds. When it was laid out on my design
wall, it was difficult to keep the diagonal rows lined up because of the
number of seam allowances. Am I being clear enough? Anyway, after
getting all the colors, sizes and design figured out, I've been sewing
them together for the past couple of days. Today I got it
finished.....and I've made an extra row in the center!!!! The top isn't
square, it's a rectangle that is wider than tall. Sheesh! I've used
some novelty fabric that are specifically oriented to be "right side up".
I know I could add an extra row at the bottom by opening up the seam
lines a little bit, but honestly, I don't know if I could face sewing
another hundred or so triangles together!!! I doubt I would have to cut
much more, I have a lot of triangles left over. So, I guess I have to
figure out if I have the right stuff to make it square, or if I'm content
with it as a rectangle. I still have to put an applique border on it.
I'll put the link to the workshop quilt here:

Hummm I like her's better.
I think I'll go to a band concert and forget that I spent HOURS sewing
those triangles into blocks, the blocks into rows and then the rows
together! Bias can be your friend!
