Re: Fantastic news tonight!

Yes, but the 3 sides of an equilateral triangle all are equal lengths
and the angles are all 60deg while a plain ole isosceles has only have
2 equal sides and the 3rd angle is different from the other 2...think
of the equilateral as the chubby one while the isosceles is the svelte
usurper. }};()) jennellh

LOL Yep. Just was looking forward to a, perhaps, different use of
equilateral triangles. <G> And, I suppose, technically speaking,
equilateral triangles are a subset of isosceles triangles, they do have
the 2 sides equal. <VBG>

You are quite right Pati - Gracie's quilt was 45deg kaleidoscope....it
was Sam's baby quilt that I did with the 60deg triangles and my own
first quilt.  I have been working also on a couple of "One block
wonders" quilts.  I did study senior geometry in school and I did
pass!!  I even liked it! ;() I also recently watched one of the old
Simply Quilts shows and it 'bothered' me that the guest referred to
60deg equilateral triangles as isosceles.  Do I still points for
remembering that I used strips to make the triangles?  jennellh

Wonderful quilt, Jennell. But no 60° triangles in it. <VBG>

is a photo of a girly baby quilt top that I worked on several years
ago for a friend in the UK.  I have always enjoyed working with 60deg.
triangles and the next baby quilt could also involve them in some
way.  jennellh

Congratulations to the whole family!
A friend just finished a really girly quilt for her granddaughter: sew
2 strips together, could be any size, 2.5" would be good. Cut 6
60-degree triangles for each block. Arrange in a hexagon so the longer
strips form a 6-vane pinwheel, but leave the hexagon in 2 halves. Sew
the halves together into rows, so you avoid Y-seams. The top and
bottom ends were straight, but she left the sides "scalloped". All in
pinks and purples for a small girl.

After 30+years of waiting, we have a new baby GIRL in the family!!  I
shall now start thinking pink at long last.  She was born at 8pm
tonight and weighed in at 7lb8oz - as yet unnamed - brown hair and
eyes.  She is the second grandchild for my ob/gyn nephew (who managed
to get there in time for the birth) which makes her my first great-
great-neice.
When the pregnancy was first announced,  I said to my sister - that it
would be a girl.  Off to check the stash for pinks!  No idea regarding
pattern - I already have a stash of girly baby bibs - the soft cover
book has been made and somewhere in a bag, I am certain that there are
some almost finished knitted baby dresses.
