I decided my ensemble was complete with the design of my last block, Hat’s Off, which appeared in 100 Blocks, Volume 4. It was time for something new for Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks, Volume 5 and I decided a pieced block was the answer.
Triangle Tracks by Denise Starck
I really appreciate designs that look more complicated than they actually are. Makes me feel like I’m getting away with something if others think I made something really intricate and involved, even when I didn’t (I’m probably the only one who believes that)!
The color palette of this Central Park fabric line designed by Deborah Edwards for Northcott really caught my eye. I find the colors very soothing, kinda spa-like! I wonder what this block would look like in other color palettes…
maybe grayscale with a pop of red:
how about something sweet and girly:
or maybe something more masculine:
Hmm… I just love what a difference color can make in a quilt! Doesn’t it just make you want to go see what you can get away with in your quilting?

I always try to make quilts which looks hard-to-make, I love to challenge my mind, I just love this block, it’s tempting me to make
I try to get away with spending some time in the sewing room! Thanks for the giveaway.
I see scrappy quilts in daily life from being in my garden to checkerboard floors and appliques. Thanks for sharing this block. Very very nice.
I try to get away with hiding my credit card purchases when I find fabric, patterns etc I find online that I really need! Thanks for the chance to win and congratulations in being in the new book.
I try to get away with sneaking fabric up to college from my moms stash!
Justifying fabric purchases is what I try and get away with! thanks for the inspiration!
I try to get away with spending more time sewing.Lol! Love your block!
What a funny question! Sometimes I’ll have an “oops” on a quilt back– like I’ll discover a little hole or a spot or a tuck in the backing fabric. So I add some cute applique (hand stitched since the quilting is already done) to cover the “oops”. Sometimes that applique on the back will become a favorite part of the quilt!
I belong to a local guild which tends to be very conservative. The members use a lot of floral fabrics with plain light backgrounds. I like to push the envelope and use the brightest non-traditional fabrics I can find.
I try to get away with trips to the fabric store by planning them for while my kids are at practice, justifying it by saying–I need to be out anyways, might as well get some ‘errands’ done at the same time (doesn’t work very often–I usually do have real errands to do–mostly grocery shopping!)
I try to get away with telling myself it’s really ok to start another quilt when I have so many other WIPs.
I try to get to the postbox before my husband does………
I try to get away with spending money on my “habit”. You can never have enough fabric, threads, patterns, etc.
I try to get away with quilting time in the evening instead of things like paying bills, folding laundry, etc. Since I work full time I never have enough time to quilt!
Judy
I try to get away with friends for a day of quilting once per week.
I’ve been trying to get away with just using my stash. Pretty soon all of my quilts are going to start looking alike. So I better start shopping. Thanks for the opportunity.
Great block – one I would use. What do I try to get away with – using scraps – I have so many – and I have a tendency to want to save every scrap. This would be a great scrappy quilt using one fabric for the solid blocks and scrap the half square triangles – of course – I just might “have” to buy the fabric for the solid block!
I try to get away with saying that I have less fabric than I actually have.
I try to get away without cooking so I can spend longer in my studio!
I try to get away with hiding fat quarters from my husband.
Wonderful…congratulations on being included and thank you for sharing with us.
I try to get away with not actually cleaning the house. I’ve become a master of throwing dust on the floor and letting the ceiling fans blow the dog hair under the furniture. A girl needs time to quilt.
I try to get away with an hour a day of sewing but some days it more and some days it’s way less!
I just made a baby quilt and when I had finished all the quilting I noticed a flaw in the backing fabric running the full length of the quilt. I got away with it by using a strip of giant ric rac to cover it up. Whew!
I try to get away with sewing all day & then place a few drops of Pine cleaner in strategic places so it “smells” like I’ve been cleaning all day instead of sewing…(HeHeHe!) Thanks for the chance to win!
I try to get away with the famous line…..”I need it”. Love the versatility of your block and that you showed different colorways.
I always tell my husband that quilting things cost much less than they really do……
I Love the colour combination and your block. I try to get away with owning more and more quilt books for inspiration and how-to’s, along with of course NEEDING more fabric.
hahaha – Janet, comment # 25 is sneaky! Too funny! I try to get away with getting some time to myself to sew. Not easy!
I don’t know that I have tried to get away with anything when it comes to quilting or sewing as in trying to be sneaky. I do try to explore every possible variation of a pattern using color, prints, placement, embellishments etc….but then I’ve always looked at that as a result of many years in a working art studio.
I try to get away with acquiring as much fabric as possible without my husband suspecting that I have a “problem.”
I love your block! I guess I don’t really try to get away with anything other than getting into the office where all my sewing stuff is so I can sew.
I try to get away with too many online fabric purchases by hiding the packaging at the bottom of the garbage can.
Im already pretty wild and boisterous.. lol. I get away with to much… that might be the problem. I wish i could get away with eating what i want and not paying for it! There we go.
Love your block, lots of pieces!
I sometimes draw a block into Electric Quilt and put in extra lines (or take out lines) so that I can paper piece the block. (LOVE to paper piece.)
I try to get away with doing as little housework as possible, so I will have more time for quilting.
I tried to get away with the magnolia I planted in our front flower bed, that I had not told my husband I had bought. It only lasted a day! When he talked to the neighbor the next day, she asked him about it. He stumbled, as he had no clue what she was talking about. I thought I had gotten up early enough to plant it and no one would notice!
I try to get away with buying fabric, and lots of it, without my hubby knowing exactly how much.
I love your quilt block and am enjoying my first blog tour. thank you!
I try to away with hand sewing binding when spending time with my husband – ie watching a movie, soccer game etc.
I try to get away with not cleaning the house but it gets to a certain point and I can’t stand it any more. Have to clean!
I try to get away with doing the least amount of housework to keep everything clean and safe, so I can quilt more. I like seeing your different block colors. This looks like it would be fun to make.
I try to sneek alittle extra time sewing rather than cleaning the house.
Like your block, especially the black-red one.

I try to get away with quilts that do not require a lot of matching seams. You could say that I like quilts with mis-matched seams. While I strive to make blocks square, points pointy, and have seams match, I just cannot get all to do so in one quilt. Forgiving designs are my speed. I really do like all the variations shown for this block. It helps me to learn more about color and contrast!
I try to get away with eating candy on my diet to lose weight.
I try to get away with “only one more seam” before cooking supper. It’s been known to be quite late on occasion! Thanks for the chance at your giveaway.
I try to get away with an excuse to purchase more fabric.
I am already trying to get away from doing housework, packing (we’re moving to our new home soon!) and more just to enter for a chance to win one of these magazines.
Thank you for showcasing that block in different colors! It seems so versatile!
I try to get away with spending time in my sewing room instead of doing stuff around the house. I have been known to “forget” I had laundry going or dinner cooking when I’ve been in here.
I try and sneak into my sewing room when my husband leaves for work and then forget about the housework!
I try to get away with mostly quilting in the ditch because I’m not confident in my quilting skills.
Would love this one scrappy!
I try to get away with using color combinations that others don’t think would work nicely together. Sometimes the results surprise others and sometimes the results make me wonder what I was thinking.

I try to get away with buying more fabric by hiding part of my stash under 3 beds – my hubby never goes there!
I try to get away with bringing more fabric into the house. If I put the fabric away fast and hide it under the bed, it’s a pretty good chance I got away with it. Thank you for all of the fun this week and giving all us a chance to win. I really like your triangle tracks block. Red is simply bold and just makes a quilt simply breathtaking.

I like to get away with not having all my points perfect. Quilting is supposed to be my form of relaxation and stress reduction.
I try to get away with achieving perfection without following instructions to the letter. It doesn’t work very well. I know from experience.
Denise, awesome, awesome, awesome! I tend to have the same line of thinking as you. To the untrained eye, it’s easy to pull one over; however, in the end the truth always comes out. But, despite the little secret it still makes me smile when I’ve completed a project that everyone ooohs and aaaaahhs over! The past several years I’ve set my quilting aside for slightly faster projects in the crochet and knitting department. Recently, I pulled out some old quilt tops that I need to complete. The most special is my husbands Air Force Retirement quilt that I began several years ago. It’s hand appliqued and needs to be completed before my husbands retirement in July. My time will be spent attempting to “get away” with finishing this before then…hopefully!
Congratulations on your success!
I try to get away with buying more and more quilting magazines…I need inspiration, don’t I?
I try to get away with not doing the dishes!
I try to get away with sneaking more fabric into the house without my husband seeing it.
Occasionally, I will have a seam that’s a bit more “scant” than I would like. All I can say is, thank goodness for fusible interfacing!
Congratulations on your block being in the magazine. I try to get away with straight piecing that looks like curves.
Congrats on being in this issue. I avoid Y seams by using HSTs whenever possible.
I love how a simple shape can be made into such different patterns and pretty quilts.
I try to get away with having much more sewing time rather than time spent cooking and cleaning.
I love your design and how you can make different designs by changing the layout.
I try to get away with saying, I did that on purpose, when it comes to my wonky piecing and bad quilting;)
Debbie
I guess I’m very similar-I love designs that look complicated but are easy to put together!
I try to get away with using fabric from my stash whenever possible these days.
I try to get away with leaving all my alterations and things to do till the last minute. Thus making the client wait sometimes…..
I always try to find simpler ways to make complex looking blocks. The challenge is fun. Thanks for the chance to win!!
love to make quilts that are easy and look very difficult. really enjoyed your block and the various interpretations of it. thanks
I get away with buying fabric by saying “But honey, I saved you money. These were on sale”. Thanks
I would like to get away with mixing batiks and colorful floral patterns.
I try to get away with living life to the best of my ability . . . perhaps not as well as someone else, but the best that I can do. I give more time to others, I make myself available to share happiness and grief, I make no judgment, and share minutes of my years to just let others know that life can be good even though it is so tough. And in all of this, if we can sew a few triangles, cross a few stitches, plant a few seeds, then we have contributed. We have participated in weaving the fabric of the universe and created the quilts of our lives.
I try to get away with reading “one more” blog or page in a book. Thanks for the giveaway!
I try to get away with shopping for quilt fabrics and tools whenever I can to make my quilting easier and more fun with new things.
I was happy to ‘test’ your block and I can say it isn’t that hard! The points match up pretty easy. Thanks for making a great pieced block for Volume 5. When I spend too much on my ‘hobby’ I have to tell DH “I NEEDED it”. His reply is it a “want” or a “need”.
The ‘it was on-Sale’ doesn’t work with him either, he says “they saw you coming”.
I try to get away with buying quilt fabric one fat quarter at a time. That way it doesn’t seem like I’m spending so much money on fabric. ha-ha
I like quilts that are straight line pieced, but look like curves. Your block would be nice made up in a teens school colors.
“But look at all that I left behind”
I just try to finish a block with the points looking like they meet….grin.
This is a really great block and I have a pile of half square triangles just itching to be used. Thanks for sharing! And I try to get away with getting fabric into the house without my husband realizing how much I’m spending! Not that it’s a problem–I just don’t want the discussion!! HA!
I try to get away with justifying why I neeed that new book, pattern, fabric etc when I have lots I haven’t made/finished yet.
I usually win the battle with myself. LOL
I don’t need to try to get away with anything. My husband and I believe in honesty.
Sometimes when I make a wrong cut I go to my stash to see if something will work for me to substitute for it.
I try to get away with convincing my fiance it is in his interest to use our join account to buy me quilting stuff instead of using my account. :p He usually agrees. Such a good sport.
Oh, I try and get away with more time reading quilting blogs or Facebook on the internet. Congratulations and thank you for hosting a great giveaway.
I try to get away with using my stash as much as possible , but then when I buy I always buy extra just in case.
I try to get away with not pinning EVERYthing. I’m even usually successful! lol
I try to get away with adding fabric to my quilting stash when in reality I certainly don’t need any more! As for the actual quilt making process, I try to get away with machining the binding whenever I possible can to save time.
I try to get away with sneaking in some personal sewing time at work.
I try to get together quilting with my friends as often as I can!
Going to the cabin with my sewingmachine and good quiltingfriends. Sewing all day and nights:-)
I try to get the package in the house before my hubby sees I have bought some more fabric or another quilting book online!
Quando marido fala alguma coisa eu digo:Naquela loja tinha tannntos tecidos que eles estavam até vendendo…Umabraço.tiacarminhapezzuto@gmail.com
I try to get my scraps cut up as progress onto the next project. Try to do at least one retreat and one challenge with my online blog group. Great block I would go scrappy with plaids and use the value of color for the transition.
I try to get away with pinning as little as possible, because I hate having to stop sewing every two inches to remove a pin.
I try to shortcut things sometimes but I dont seem to get away with it. I usually end up spending more time.
I try to get away with taking shortcuts in cooking meals so that I have more time to quilt!!! Love your block, it has so many possibilities!
I try to get away with surfing the internet for new quilting ideas and fabrics when my husband thinks I’m listening to him talk about his job! I’ve been wanting to try my hand at a row quilt, and Triangle Tracks would fit in very nicely *Ü*
I try to get away with spending a lot of time in my sewing room every day quilting & sewing.
I try to get away with going to fast with my work, but I do find that I have to slow down in order to not make too many mistakes.
I try to get away with sneeking more stash in my hoard of fabrics I already have. But her always seems to notice a new tub stacked in my wall of fabric. I sneek in a mistake once in awhile and I love to sew binding on if it is ok. Thanks for the giveaways.
I try to get away with sewing outside on the deck in the summer.
I try to get away with slipping a few minutes in here and there to quilt! I also sometimes try to rush through my housework to make a little extra time! Sometimes I will slip in an orphan fabric to get rid of it and then I love it more than something chosen special for the project!
I like to get away with taking a new block and seeing how changing colors or rotation can make so much variety. I really like your block and would like to try getting away with making it look like “slanted stars” with some color and fabric changes. Thank you for all the giveaways.
Being single, I don’t have to hide my purchases from my husband; the scale can’t be
bribed; neither can the bank, so I guess I get away with not doing housework or yard work — they wait patiently, becoming more and more obvious in their neglect.
really attractive. Congratulation;s on being published.
I try to get away with moving furniture in the house often. I am one of those that can not stand to have my house look exactly the same forever. I love moving things around at least once a year, especially during Spring cleaning. My husband and the kids want to kill me when I do it. I usually wait until I have the house to myself before I start moving things though, so there is less complaining. Sometimes it is a great move I like and sometimes it is the biggest flop I ever created.
Just looking at RJR, I see there are some new Farmer’s Market fabrics. I have a lot of the others. My friend and I drooled over the others last winter when we were making her pie quilt. Yummy, yummy, yummy.
I love to sneak in more time to read. I always feel like I’m being lazy and yet it is so rewarding!
I try to get away with spending some time reading or quilting each day.
I do hand-sewing and hand-repairs while watching one or two of my favorite shows on the DVR, or while I’m watching movies or shows with my hubbie. Sometimes I’ll sneak in a visit to the fabric store or get fat quarters at the Walmart while grocery shopping while my husband is on shift. I try to make do with what I have, fabric, tools, etc, but I don’t have a lot of stash, so I end up spending more than I want or my hubbie wants me to because it builds up. So then I need a whole lot at once.
Thanks for so many chances to win!
I try to get away with not doing the dishes and then sit and sew. But the guilts get the better of me and I usually go do the dishes anyway. Great looking and versatile quilt design you have. I can easily see it in gorgeous batiks for the living room sofa cover up.
I always try to figure out how to cut and sew strips instead of cutting an individual square. To me, it helps to speed up the process and cut down on the cutting.
That’s a great block. It’s easy, but has lots of movement. You could do a signature block for the center, or use your favorite sports team and the star parts could coordinate. Really cool! I like simple that looks challenging, too.
I try to get away with buying more fabric and hiding it without my hubby finding out about it.
Humm, What I really enjoy and feel the need to get away with is telling my husband how much I spent at the quilt/needlework shops. It’s amazing how quickly everything adds up and I do feel blessed, yet at the same time guilty for acquiring what I like.
I love to make quilts that look involved, but are made from easy components. Your block fits this! Thanks for sharing with us! Anxious to study all the blocks in Vol. 5!
Great block and variations! I try to get away with justifying each purchase as if there will never be a piece of fabric that perfect if I don’t buy it right now
I like to get away with making blocks that look curved, but are really straight piecing. I love your triangle tracks block. Thanks for the chance to win.
I try to get away with all the purchases of fabric that I’m doing.
I’ve been trying to hide the bolts of fabric I’ve been purchasing lately … honestly, I need them! I have every color under the rainbow and NO Neutrals … I’ve been able to “get away with bringing three in” so far! LOL
I really like the way the color combinations change the Look of the your newest block – CONGRATS ON another being published!!! With some of the color changes, I see different blocks on the first picture I see “floating stars” and on the black/white/red I see “whirligigs” … what a fabulous block and definitely on my list to make!
Happy Quilting!
Forgot the pink combination ~~ looks like “pretty little tulips” to me
I am going to do this one in black and hot pink
I like to get away with quilting at all! Since most of the time I should be working. Love your block Denise!
I try to get away with more fabric! Congratulations on your inclusion!
I admit it…I have brought fabric into the house secretly and added to my stash before the family sees and says again…”MORE fabric? Don’t you have ENOUGH?” or “I thought we were trying to pay off the house but that will never happen unless you stop buying fabric!” I like the optional illusion created by your block, especially the dark colored option!
I try to “get away” with not cooking or cleaning the house, but those chores keep dragging me back….
Just getting to go to the sewing room this time of year I know that I am getting away with something. Spring work in the vineyard takes top billing on the things to do list.
Thanks for the chance to win.
I try to get away once a month to a quilt shop to recharge my quilting mojo and view all the new items that have come in.
I’m always using swaps to try new techniques. I feel like I’m getting away with using my swap partners as guinea pigs in a way. Sounds worse when I write it down!
I love to try differents blocks in a new quilt.Thanks
I have quite a stash of fabric but am continuously drawn to something eye catching. This Blog tour has given me so many ideas. I hope to get to completing one soon..
I completed one quilt with various colors and was so amazed as to how pretty they
looked when finished.
Thanks for the awesome tour…
i try to get away with…. “it would make such a nice gift!” and then end up with keeping it for myself — ” i will make something else to give as a gift..”
m.
Love this block. Perhaps with a themed print.
I’m girly! Love the fabric and colors. I tell myself that I am not going to buy any more fabrics or quilt mags, but I do find it hard not too. Makes for great gifts around the holidays and that usually gets me off the hook…Thank you for sharing and Congratulations on your publish block…Judith, Texas
I think it would be fun to use this block in “bordering” a quilt.
I try to get away with sewing instead of housework and cleaning. The only thing that gets done when I sew is laundry as it’s downstairs next to my sewing room.
I think your question defines my life, but in quilting I try to get away with alot! I squeeze those seams together if they don’t exactly meet, and make even the skinniest of quilt fabric remnants work. I always think of those Pioneer women who made do and have quilts hanging is museums. Do the best you can with what you have.
I try to get away with more sewing time than cooking or cleaning.
I just try to get through the day. Thanks for the chance to win. I love the first block the most
I am still trying to get some FMQ to work for me.i do like to make a quilt with the same pattern and every block different with different fabric placements.
Should I really confess? Sometimes I think I should just change that block intersection, and other times I tell myself no one will ever notice. Guess my good days are over–it’s been a looooong time since I was a teen!
I don’t really mind complicated piecing. It is the ironing that I am still trying to figure out shortcuts for.
I try to get away with “Stash” purchases, everyone in the family now says something because if I like it get some even if not for certain quilt or to go with another fabric.
I recently just started quilting again and have a very small stash so I try to get away with thinking up new creative reasons of why I need more
WoW! Great looking blocks! I try and get away with spending time with my girlfriend after our quilting class.
Thank you for your giveaway and a chance to win.

I try to get away with a riot of colour. I love colour!
I love your block – half of it would make a great border! I try to get away with more sewing time…
I try to get away with sewing when I should be cleaning.
I try to get away with sewing when I should be doing the yard work!
I do try to get an hour in my sewing room but lately I haven’t had a chance. Too many things going on in life. Instead of a Calgon moment I need a Quilting moment!
I’m try to get some sewing time in everyday and get my UFOs done!
I try to get away with not cooking dinner.
I try to get away with not cooking to sew.
I try to get away with using a not-quite-exact-match when I run out of a particuler fabric, instead of trying to buy more to match.
I’m spoiled – hubby does the cooking and my little guy is a big help… usually I try to get away with being the one to sleep in BOTH weekend days (even if it is in the recliner while the Munchkin watches TV)
I try to find an excuse to go to the fabric store. I like to look at the remnants to see if there’s anything I can use.
Sweet block! I try to get away with little to no spending – just using fabrics from my stash. I’m not working so getting creative with what I have is a must for the time being. Thanks “sew much” for this chance to win!!
I try to get away with seeing my grandchildren as much as possible.
congratulations on being in the magazine. Thanks for the chance to win.
What a great block. Love all those triangles.
Hmmmmm what do I try to get away with……..I try to ignore all housework and cooking to be sure I have hopped around to all the stops in order to win my very own issue.
Your block it great for a color study.
I try to make quilts that have movement, but yet easy to assemble.
Hope DH isn’t reading this…I try to get away with buying more fabric than I’ll ever use.
I like blocks that look as if lines/shapes are interlocked.
Oh I feel like I have to sneak any new fabrics I buy into the house, I have to pay with cash so hubby doesn’t find out, and yes I have a stash, so why would I need more fabric.
Your block is pretty in all the different color combinations. I try to put off my housework and spend time on the internet or sewing. I can get away with it for awhile but then I do have to get it caught up.
I try to get my friends to do the sewing!
I try to get away with leaving work early to go home and sew
I use to try to get away with buying fabric and sneaking it in to the house but now I blog about my stash busting (www.thequiltingqueenonline.blogspot.com) so I have to be honest about it now.
I hide my fabric when I come home from shopping but my husband usually will see it in the laundry basket. I enjoy the Quiltmaker’s 100 Block magazine and their regular magazine. Thanks for the chance to win.
Even though I enjoy cooking, I try to get away with an occasional “yo-yo” night so I can quilt more. That means “you’re on your own” for finding food for supper. I’m finding I get away with it more now that the kids are all grown and gone from home!
I try to get away with starting new projects even though I haven’t finished the ones I previously started.
I try to get away with making simple blocks that look really complex when they’re finished – and only I know how easy it really was!
My husband calls it the “dungeon” since it is in the dark, subterranean garage. I prefer to think of it as a “she-cave”.
Making complex looking blocks simple to do.
i get away with not having to try to get away with whatever, if you know what i mean. i have only myself to please and i’m easy to please!
I get away with using a stab stitch instead of the traditional quilting stitch when quilting by hand. It looks exactly the same, gives me better control, and I don’t curse the air blue!
I try to get away with sneaking fabric into the house when no one’s looking, and getting it stashed in my fabric closet unseen by prying familial eyes.
I try to get away with adding a metallic for our quilting guild’s charity block.
I try to get away with adding a metallic for our quilting guild’s charity block. Sooo pretty.
I try to get away with sneaking fabric into the house when the family isn’t looking!!!
I try to get away with not so precise cutting. It always blows up in my face though. I don’t know why I don’t learn.
Denise, my friends really don’t know that they have coffee/tea outside is because there are no other surfaces left. There is the kitchen but its light makes it good for hand sewing. Fortunately, a great outside view. Thank you for the block – still not convinced that it will be easy piecing, & the give away.
I try to get away with postponing the cleaning so I can spend more time sewing. But then I have company over & I hate that my house is a mess. Thanks for the chance to win.
I’d like to get away with using super bright color combos that you wouldn’t normally see together and find that they really work!
I am always trying to convince myself that I really don’t need that fabric that I fall in love with at the store. I try to get away with the purchase my promising myself that I will be stronger next time. LOL
brilliant question- I actually sat here for a good 10 minutes playing out fantasies in my head…I’d love to get away with hiding a long arm quilting machine in a two bed apartment….I’d need a magically expanding room sadly….and a magically expanding bank account…
thanks for the fab giveaway!

I “try” to get away with working on hubby’s handmade gifts before he returns from work. There have been times when I’ve lost track of time, and had I’ve had to quickly park the needle and throw it behind the couch
Good thing I don’t work with glass!
I try to get away with bringing more fabric home!
I Love Your Block Triangle Tracks! I try and get away with changing blocks from original designs and can come up w/some pretty neat blocks. Thanks for having this Great Giveaway with Great Prizes and a chance to win Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks Volume 5!
great block. Looks so modern
I try to get away with hiding fabric, my sewing room became my bedroom when I was confined to a wheelchair. It was the only room downstairs we could get a hospital bed in was my “sewing room”, thank God we had it. You’d be amazed where all you can hide your stash when you have to.
I try to get away with more time in the sewing room.
I try to get away with as little house work as possible! I like your Volume 5 block but must admit I miss another ensemble block. Was it last year you asked for more ideas on the next piece to add? Can’t wait to get this next Volume! Sandi
I try to get away with sewing every afternoon even though there are always other thing that I think need to be done. Unfortunately it doesn’t work as often as I would like unless I am on a dead line.
I’m always trying to squeeze more into the day that seems possible. Just one more…that’s what’s always in the back of my mind.
I think I have just justified my fabric purchase. I need to make these blocks!
