Tuesday Triangles (Edited)

It all started when I decided to empty this tub. It was full, like overflowing, with triangles of all sizes and colours. 

Little did I know it would take so long to see the bottom of it. 

Some were more "triangle" than others. 

All sizes were present. 

The beginning of the quilt. Block #1

There's still a lot of triangles in the tub. 

some are very big (and they might return in the scrap basket of their colour) or very small and some are the right size;

some are in plastic bags with the size written down. They are the leftovers from Shakespeare in the Park which you can see here.

some are just not the right kind of triangles (the blocks on the left are rejects from this table runner ) and some are sewn together.

 (not sure what I'll do with those red ones. They were surprises in a gifted bag. I have enough triangles to make six more One Block Wonder. Unfortunately, the triangles are not all cut the same size. Sigh!) 

Anywho! That's what's left in the tub. 

So, let's get back to the HST quilt. 

You see one block, you've seen them all, except for the fun of discovering new fabric or similar fabric to yours and so on. 

Yes, I did had to add some more fabric because there was WAY too many blue (Shakespeare in the Park, 365 Challenge Quilt, Jacob's Ladder) and too many green (Field of Poppies.) 

Relentlessly, the quilt grew. I made so many HST that at one point it was an addiction. (One quarter of the quilt)

I played with colours and values, trying not to have a fabric twice in one block and just had fun. (Two quarters of the quilt) 

Then I had a lot of HSTs that were just a tad too small for this quilt. 

So another HST quilt was born. 

HST Quilt #2 block 1 

Then I had a helper. (!?) 

If you know me one bit, you know that I didn't do all those blocks without a blooper. (¬_¬ )

Unfortunately, my computer died last week and I've lost a lot of photos. 😪 No, I mean a LOT of photos! 😭 Just believe me when I say I did a blooper! In my defense, it was in block #9 so I managed to make 8 blocks without a mistake!!! Shouldn't I get an Honorary Mention for that?  🤣

Anywho! With a lot of ironing (all seams are pressed open) (still not finished that stage), I am slowly putting the blocks together and my son got my wheels spinning. He said it would be nicer if it was red, white and black! That would be a stunning quilt. So, am I really gonna make another one? 🤦‍♀️ This one is even not done yet! Oh! Startitis! Once infected, we are never cured. 😂

Here's where I'm at with this project. (This is not the final layout. I just set them down on the deck to take a picture real quick before the wind blew them all away.) 

Borders ??

Made with 1024 HSTs or 2048 triangles. 

Take care, everyone! (●'◡'●)

P.S. Sorry for all the grammatical mistakes. I have a new motherboard and it came empty, empty of everything, dictionary included. Hahaha! 😉
