After I made the half blocks on Tuesday I cut out the rest of the setting triangles and borders for the Thread Head quiltalong quilt. I especially love the blue background fabric, but I am very pleased with how it's all coming out. This thing's a bias nightmare, though, with all the edges of those triangles, so progress is slow.
I was also slowed down by the fact that I cut the setting trianges the wrong size and then had to trim every one of them. I don't know what I was thinking but I cut them for a 10" block, not a 7" block. DUH! I mixed up two projects in my head I guess. So, instead of having plenty of fabric for the job I barely had enough, which is good because this is from several years ago and I probably wouldn't be able to find more. I'm trying to scrounge up enough of the "Prairie Home" gold to make the binding; I had enough to cut about half of it after cutting out the inner border, and ThousandsofBolts.com had a few more fat quarters left, so I'm hoping it will be enough.
