Triangles!

I got busy with my fabric strips  and ran 46 through the Accuquilt. It hardly took any time at all, and then I sat down with a cup of coffee to sort them into piles.

I like doing meditative things like that, when I'm not in a hurry to be doing something else.

I need light coloured triangles, and some red and blue ones, so I will find those next. And, as the Split 9-Patch is so close to being finished, I will need to find another pattern to use these pieces.

I used the triangles as Leader-Enders and built up a stack of them, which was nice. Then I made a heap of simple blocks with some of them, just for fun while I contemplate my next effort to use them. I'm sort of stuck on 6" and 8" blocks at the moment, but there are lots of bigger blocks, like Sisters Choice, that use 2.5" triangles and squares. I do love 10" blocks too, but I'm not fond of 12" ones; they are just too big for my liking.

I managed to get borders on the Trail Mix top, which finished it of nicely. 

It's a lousy photo, looks very washed out, so I'll have to try again, earlier in the day when the light is better.. I really like how it turned out, mainly because I find it so hard to do Random. I always make things into a pattern, so there's some sort of structure to it. The structure in this comes from those tiny chains of 4-patches, but in between it's all haphazard. I'll chalk this up as a success.
