Well, I am still working on the Valentine Quilt, but for a break from viewing my design wall, I thought I'd show you pictures of the blocks I am making for Lisa Bongean's Triangle Gatherings. Her website is (Here) I first talked about these triangle blocks (Here)
How could I pass up a 'gathering' of hst blocks? They are made of 16 small hst pieces, and since I have shoeboxes full of hst's, it has been fun to assemble them into Lisa's weekly patterns.
This week I made #29 through #36 and here is a picture:
There are 45 patterns published so far, and I have made 36 of them. The way I write out the patterns is to copy the block pictures onto graph paper. This way, I don't waste a lot of computer ink printing out a pattern page for each square, as I already have the hsts in my stash. Here's a picture to show you what I mean:
What's on your design wall this Monday?

This is a fun project! I like how you are keeping record of the patterns.
Your Triangle BLlocks are Fun! I did a similar thing with Pam Buda in 2014. We only made 13 BLocks ofr a small quilt. Thanks for the Link-up!
Hi Judy,
Thanks for sharing the link to Lisa's website. I will check that out, and maybe it's not too late to join in. I love the blocks you've shared - some of them look hard until you remember they are HSTs. What a great idea of putting the blocks on graph paper rather than printing them out. Smartie pants! ~smile~ Roseanne
Those HSTs must be really tiny. Pretty blocks!!

THose are great blocks, and I like the way you write them down - much eaiser!
OMGosh I love these little blocks so much! Then I went and started reading and now I am sure I will think about these all day long and tomorrow I will start another new project. :)
I'm a HST junkie. I think I'll go take a look at her blocks. Thanks for sharing.
Wow those blocks are tiny and amazing. Beautiful work!
Lisa likes tiny tiny pieces! Great method to keep track and not have to face printer errors. Have fun!
These little blocks are looking fabulous! Love your fabric choices and your sewing is perfection! Great idea with the graph paper...thanks for sharing!
What a smart way to have a record of the patterns. Your blocks look great. Makes me wish I was more organized and had my hst all in one place.
Great blocks! Beautiful fabrics!
I would probably done the same as you and make small drawings instead of using up so much ink and paper for the blocks. I decided not to add the triangle quilt project to my overwhelming list of quilts to be made. You are doing quite well with your blocks.
