Thank you

Thank you for spending so much time on my project. I figured I would have to square up the center somehow, but wasn't sure exactly how. I have plenty of fabric since I originally planned to back the quilt with the focus fabric. However, it now dawns on me that though the piece is 65" long it is only 44" wide at most. I was thinking smaller width crib quilt when I bought it. I guess I will have to reverse my process to now find out what size square to start with for the triangles. For the center itself, I knew the square size possibilities to figure out the diagonal. Now I will know the diagonal, but not the arms -- I was picturing having to come up with a triangle with extended side to accommodate the top and bottom margins.

I haven't bothered with quilty software either, tho I am intrigued by the planning possibilities. I figure I spend enough time on this stupid machine. Time spent on quilty software could be time actually making a quilt! I dropped one of the lists I was on and found myself with enough more time to actually read a couple books this summer and now make this small quilt. Considering we have been gone almost every weekend transporting kids somewhere or another, that is an accomplishment for me. I was expecting lots of free time with empty nest this fall, but middle ds has moved home to go to school locally. That's o.k.

Thank you again. It looks like I will be spending a few more hours on this!!!
