strippy triangles quilt: on the design floor












After nearly three weeks of randomly working on these triangle strips, I think I finally have enough HSTs to start stitching it all together ... but it will all have to wait now! 
Super excited, we are off to Australia for a long overdue holiday to see my son & his wife IRL after five - oh my, yes five - years! 
And I'll be very happy to soak up some of that Auzzie 🌞 sunshine too. What with cyclone Gabrielle, and the all the severe flooding, slips, power outages and horrific trail of destruction & loss for many around the North Island, it's been a real bummer summer miserable summer here!  

Back in a couple of weeks, Linda

Claire said...

that's a lot of triangles. I have a bunch of "bonus triangles" but not the same size or same color of background. Still, I'll figure out something. Enjoy your trip!

Welcome to Australia! I hope you are not in Victoria today- it's very cool and unseasonal! Enjoy your time here and your break from the sewing machine!
