Recently, I had the pleasure of teaching some friends from my local quilt guild how to piece my Summer's End quilt:
I decided to make another copy of this quilt in neutral fabrics and stitch along with my friends. After a day of stitching, this is how far I got:
Do you see all of those little triangle trimmings? Please stop me before I decide to stitch them and use them in a new crazily miniature quilt. PLEASE!
This quilt has approximately eleventy-thousand triangles. I warned my friends that they were in for a lot of triangle trimmings, but they were good sports about it:
I don't often get to hang out with my local guild members because of my travels and I forget how much fun they are. At lunch time, we played a round of "Left Right Center:"
An observant reader might notice that Hello Kitty fat quarter. If you guess that one is from me, you'd be correct.
The winner of this game would take home between 30-40 fat quarters and while we were playing I kept chanting "Please don't let me win! Please don't let me win!"
I didn't, but two happy quilters went home with bags full of new fabrics.
I can't wait until I get to hang out with these fun quilters again!

Oh, I love those neutrals. Sorry but I won't be the one to try to stop you from piecing those triangles. I try to make a habit of sewing on both sides of the line when I am doing flip triangle and HSTs. I am more likely to use them if I do that. I guess you were against a time frame when you made those.
