There it sat, high on a shelf upstairs where I seldom venture...my favorite tin...bought on a visit to Quaker Square in Akron, Ohio...
I carry it downstairs, knowing what's inside and dread looking at them again...hours of my life are in that box...hours tracing templates, cutting fabric and piecing tiny triangles...I loved this project when it was begun well over ten years ago...it was going to be a strip quilt based on one seen in Lady's Circle Patchwork Quilts magazine...row after row of tiny triangles...time went by and I no longer liked that design, maybe a gorgeous scrap Delectable Mountains quilt would be better...
This morning looking over the blocks I think they would be perfect for a Bear's Paw quilt and am almost tempted to keep them and do it...almost...it's time for me to find these blocks a new home...
The blocks have all been hand pieced...all the pieces traced around in pencil...I think they would be best for another hand piecer...but am sure they could be machine done too...there are tons of blocks and tons of triangles ready to become blocks...
If you would like these blocks and promise to finish them into a quilt...please leave a comment here on my blog...why would you like them? do you have a project like this that begs to be finished but you just can't do it ?
I ask that only residents of the lower 48 US states request the blocks...I will pick a winner next Friday May 25th...
