Right Church, Wrong Pew

 

This is the layout with the brown triangles and black on white side triangles. I stepped back and looked...

WHAT was I thinking? CLEARLYthe black on white side triangles were just plain WRONG! I had my box of leftover side triangles out, so I was not looking (or thinking) properly. It was apparent the side triangles needed to be CREAM or BEIGE...

Sigh. 

Back to the cutting table.

I had even bought a large selection of creams and beiges for just this purpose back in November. Must have had a lot on my mind. (ya think?)

This is SO CLEARLY so much better. Just goes to show you...


"No matter how far you've gone down the wrong road, turn back!"

I will start sewing this together!




This is a Scrap Slab Triangle Quilt, and is mostly made from scraps. If you would like to make one, you can get my tutorial here, at my Etsy shop.





PS, My California family is not near the areas burning in LA right now, although some of the places we have visited have been affected.

Personally, I would sit in any of your "church pews". I learn so much no matter where I am sitting :-)
So glad the CA family is OK

I like your wavy arrangement of the triangles and may give it a try. I've been making triangles out of "strings" lately with no particular plans. Thanks for the idea!

Yes ! the cream/beige triangles are so much better . I learn so much from your designing process and how you aren't satisfied until your discerning artist eye knows it's right. You've encouraged me to not accept "close"; keep pushing for better. The final version reminds me of warm coffee with cream--a good way to start the morning !
