This was a fun project because you make 2 different blocks from each set of fabric. Double the fun!
The first pair are candle mats. These were made from 2 different 2 inch strips of fabric, stitched together, then a third fabric 3 1/2 inches . When cut apart, they form 6 of each set of 60 degree triangles.
These finish 10 x 11.5 inches.
Then I used the same method, but started with wider strips and made 2 table toppers, featuring more of my gingerbread fabric.These two finished
16.5 x 19.5 inches.
I finally took some time to clear up all the scraps on my cutting table. I started to make 4 patches with leftover Christmas fabric, and began playing with a layout, but I talked myself into setting them aside to work on a quilt for my grandchildren.
Yesterday, DH and I headed to Plant City FL. to visit Inspire, a lovely quilt shop, of course. I had a gift card, so I picked up a few pieces of fabric to add to the grandchildren's quilts project. I also found a great panel, that I will make into a wall hanging for our granddaughter's room. It is bright and cheery and features an octopus and his friends.
