Blocks Finished!! Triangle Gatherings

IMG_4198

I finally got myself in gear and finished up those Triangle Gatherings blocks!  I am stopping with 61 blocks.  My blocks have 4 1/2 inch triangle square centers and star points that make the blocks finish at 8 inches.  I have my fabric for the setting triangles all prepped and ready to cut, and the quilt top assembly will commence this week.  I have no plans to put a border on this quilt and figure that it will finish at around 70 inches square, a great size.  Once I get the blocks sewn together I will post a better picture of the top straight on instead of at an angle.

My fabrics were from my stash, and the background fabric is from Primitive Gatherings.  I used a 2 x 4 inch Bloc Loc ruler to trim the flying geese for the star units and 1 inch finished triangle square papers to make the half square triangles.

This has been a fun project over the past number of months and I thank Lisa Bongean of Primitive Gatherings for designing the blocks and publishing a few blocks each week.  

Hope you all had a great weekend!  I've been busy working extra hours at work, so I will post when I can this week.
