Wednesday was my sewing group meeting and lunch... and I was able to complete all of them before we went off to Red Lobster to celebrate the holidays.
After lunch I went home, got laundry started and began cutting the magenta triangles while eyeing my neutrals. I wasn't so sure about using them... especially the cream colors... which have a yellow undertone color. So I went stash diving again and came up with a white with purple print. I made up a couple blocks and though I worry about there being too much purple in it for a neutral print... I love the block.
The table and the triangle are actually white, not yellow-ish. This picture does not show the proper coloring and, though I tried to edit it, I could't get the correct color to show. The magenta is much brighter also. I'll try for a better picture if it is sunny out tomorrow.
I'm having to fiddle a bit with that left side triangle.. it seems to want to come up short. Cutting that little notch in the magenta triangle helps with alignment, but I still need practice to "eye" it better. I've made 10 blocks so far and with each one I'm getting more accurate. I have several yards of both fabrics so I have room to play and be picky with accuracy.
The grands showed up for a pizza dinner, and the oldest is staying with us for most of the Christmas break... so I will be trying to fit in more sewing when he goes to bed and in-between holiday activities.
