Wedding Ring Quilt, LKennedyGood Morning, Quilters!

Time to check in …

I’ve really been disciplined this week about spending time each day on my “Big Three” (Read more about setting priorities for your quilting in The Quilt Notebook Series.)

What about you?  Did you spend most of your time working on your big three?
Wedding Ring Quilt, LKennedyMy #1 priority is this wedding ring quilt.  The blocks are together now and I’m working on the half square triangle border.

Over the years, I’ve tried several different methods to create half square triangles.  After watching Edyta Sitar’s video:   Mix and Match: Scrappy Quilts, I decided to try these Triangles on a Roll (on sale at 40% off at Craftsy).

Though I don’t usually like paper piecing, this method easily created very accurate HST and removing the paper was a simple TV activity.  I also liked that you can roll off as many as you want at a time–easy peasy.Wedding Ring Quilt, LKennedy
