I didn’t piece this but I think it was someone who participated in one of Carol’s Summer Mysteries (or Saskatchewan Mystery as many in the group call it).

I did the quilting on my machine on Texada. It worked well and I’ll use it again for quilting if we spend a length of time over there and the quilting is simple.

Whoever made this did a great job of using scraps but still coming out with a beautiful design.

This project truly lived up to the theme of a handful of scraps. The quarter-square triangles are the cut corners from a recently completed quilt top. I made half-square triangles with them and then turned them into quarter-squares.

The sashing and cornerstones came from my 1.5″ scrap bin that I’ve been sorting through. The half-square triangles on the sides came from some cut corners that my friend Gail gave me.

I had to cut a couple of strips of yardage for the binding.

I’ve had the patterns for several in the Triangle Frenzy series for years. It wasn’t until last year that I found fabric that would suit – so I purchased a couple of pieces. At some point I’ll used the second piece to make one of the other patterns.

This was surprisingly easy to complete – the only tricky part was the cutting but Gail helped me sort it out and everything matched up (almost) perfectly.

This will make its way to Hannah, who will soon be moving into her first apartment

This was my July project for my sewing day with Stacia and Deloise. I wasn’t looking forward to this one – another log cabin made with 3/4″ strips. I persevered and got it finish although it took two days.

In the photo I can see the pattern but up close and in person it doesn’t seem as clear. I think it is because some of my darks are actually mediums and they blur the lines a little.
