Block 34 - Year of Scrappy Triangles

I used scraps of one of my favorite fabrics in this week's quilt block - the print with the little dala horses and nesting dolls. My brother, who is stationed in Japan, brought it home for me a few years ago. I am still looking for the perfect project to use it in, but I am glad I was able to use some in these Scrappy Triangles.

This block is similar to some other zig-zag blocks we have made in the past, but not exactly the same. As we close out the year, more of the foundation paper pieced blocks are going to be variations of earlier blocks.

And like other blocks, there are some fun secondary patterns when multiples are placed together. I really like the design when the quilt blocks are placed like this. Almost like reflected mountains. Click below to download the pattern. Happy sewing!

High School graduation is over, there are only two more days of school for the other kids, and then summer will be here for real. Crazy! ... I'm hoping I don't go crazy. Ha!

This week I have a block with a bit of summer sunshine for you. Great for all of those smaller strips. Enjoy!

Year of Scrappy Triangles - Block 32

This has been a crazy week! My oldest daughter is graduating from high school in two days and all of the lead up to it (concerts, awards assemblies, last minute projects) has been draining. Who knew that an 18 year old could be more work than a 5 year old?

I need some sewing time to recharge! Time to make some more Scrappy Triangles!

Hello! I hope you are all doing well. I was just telling my husband last week that I had been super lucky this winter and hadn't gotten sick hardly at all. Then two days later, I came down with a cold and can't hardly speak. That'll teach me. :) Thankfully, I am on the mend and hope to be able to get back to my sewing machine this week.

I love this week's Scrappy Triangle. It is simple to make and four of them together make a great secondary pattern. I hope you have fun making it and stay healthy and safe!

Year of Scrappy Triangles - Block 30


Hello. It's a beautiful day here in Missouri and I am wearing capris for the first time this year! I know you wanted to know that. :)  I've just got to enjoy it before it gets too hot. I hate being hot.

This week's block is easy-peasy and will help you work through more of your fabric strips. Enjoy, and have a wonderful week! (It feels like it should be Friday already....)
