WOW ! The GCQ monthly challenge for September is
to use the “fortune” from a fortune cookie to create a quilt block or
project. At the August meeting Lynne
passed out fortune cookies for us to pick one.
The one I picked was perfect for me.
It said, “Treat yourself to a special time this coming weekend”, so
today I did.
Many of my guild
members know how I enjoy using crumbs or small scraps of fabric. I went through my crumb pile and pulled out
several triangles that were trimmed from a past project. I did cut triangles from a neutral to create
half-square triangle units then pinwheels.
The pinwheels would only finish at 8 ½” so I decided to add scrappy
strips as a frame so they would square up to 12 ½ “ and finish at 12”. This is what I made.
Plus, I decided to play some more with the crumbs left from
trimming the triangles. I pulled out a
few more strings and did not stop until I had pieced 8 more triangles.
