Project Quilting 9.2

This week's Project Quilting Challenge theme is Triangulation. I had lots of ideas for projects I wanted to try, but there wasn't enough time to do a large project. I picked a block that I have wanted to try for years, so I dug out my Hex N More ruler that I got several years ago and hadn't used yet. Then I dug through the scrap bin of hand dyed fabrics from another project I'm working on.

 The piecing went together much easier than I expected.

 I made my block into a pincushion. I had planned to put a button in the center, but the center came out so perfect, I didn't want to cover it up. I'm happy with my little triangle project, and I'm so glad I finally got around to trying this block. I think it would make a great scrap quilt, and can't wait to get started on it.

Project Quilting 9.1

The title of this challenge is Hometown Proud. I love living in the mountains of Groveton, NH, especially in the summer. This is my mini version of a landscape quilt. I randomly cut pieces of my hand dyed fabrics to create this scene. They were stitched to a foundation piece and machine quilted on my domestic machine.
