Block 46 - Year of Scrappy Triangles



Hi there! Here is the next block in the series. I really like this one. The quilt block unit in the corner is called a 'Hidden Square' and you can find them in all sorts of quilt patterns.

I just want to let you know, that I am going to be taking next week off. My husband and I are going to France (our first big kid-free trip!) and I don't want to have to fuss with scheduling a post before I go.

I am so excited to go back to France. I was there for a year and a half as a missionary 20 years ago and haven't been back since. We are going to spend a few days in Paris, followed by a weekend in Brittany (west coast). I can't wait! I'll be posting tons of pictures for my kids in Instagram stories if you want to follow our trip. I am @sewn.by.leila.gardunia.

But enough with that side note, here is the foundation paper pieced pattern for Block 46. You can find all the patterns for the Year of Scrappy Triangles here. And if you are interested in trying your hand at smaller Scrappy Triangles, I have patterns here. Happy sewing!

Block 45 - Year of Scrappy Triangles

Free 6" foundation paper pieced quilt blocks. Perfect for using fabric scraps - a great quilt scrap buster.

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind. Vacation, the Iowa State Fair, packing for college, gathering school supplies for all kids, suit shopping, hair cuts, dropping off at college (lots of tears were shed, and I'm not sappy), then cleaning and recovering from the whirlwind. It has been crazy, and I am trying to find the new normal with all the kids at school. We'll see how it goes. I need to get myself organized.

But I did manage to draft all the rest of the blocks yesterday for the Year of Scrappy Triangles. Crazy that we just have a few more weeks. It was hard to come up with designs for the last few. Some of them, like this one, are variations on previous blocks. I hope you enjoy making it. It uses 2 1/2" strips, so dig out those leftover strips and let's get sewing! :)

Block 44 - Year of Scrappy Triangles


The last two weeks have been super busy. Vacation (which is suppose to be relaxing?) and now getting ready for the first day of school for the younger kids and driving my oldest to college tomorrow morning. Crazy!

I won't say more (no time), but I'll leave you with the template for this week's block, and let you know how it all went next week. :)
