Hello Everyone,

I thought today's post would be coming to you from Quilt Market, but alas, life happens and I had to cancel my plans on attending market at the last hour. Yes, I am sad that I am not there, but I will be at Fall Market.

In the meantime, I am trying to make the best of the situation and thought that a little sewing time was in order. So, I made triangles using purple and blue batiks!


I would say that this is a great use of my time. They are fun to make and have tons of possibilities too.


I used the Tri-Recs tool and just love it! This tool has been indispensable to me in the past and is again now.


Here is one possibility, a star. You can change out the center square and really change the look.


The triangles can become rooftops for funky houses. I really like this option. How fun would that be to make a little village of all different houses?


Diamonds without cutting them on the 60 degree angle!


Stacking the triangles for another look. Much like flying geese, but with a twist. There are so many more options, my head is spinning thinking of them.

Have any of you used the Tri-Recs tool? If so, what did you make and how did you like using this tool?

Until Next Time...
