More scraps
While waiting for the clue & chatting w Lynnie, I sewed up more blocks. Lynnie calls this "making fabric".
Victoria Findlay Wolfe uses this technique in many of her award-winning quilts. She suggests you warm up to sew every day w 15 mins of scrap play. I really love the scraps from my buddies in my Bee. I cut these 6.5" square. Will do 12. I used to tell my students "Art accepts
many answers." Will make some HSTs for steps 3 & 4. Try some, Lynnie!!

I dont know where to post this so here goes.I went to the closet where I store my quilts and knock me over with a feather. ALL but 2 or 3 small throws were GONE!!! I have been making quilts for so many years it is embarassing(lol) and my closet was shelves from floor to ceiling,so many quilts in it that not one more could be stuffed into it. And now I can count with the 2 beds that I have quilts on and some in my roon I now have only 7 quilts. A lifetime of work and love gone!!! I have been crying all weekend and now am so angry at some unknown person I have to pray for forgiveness.Who could hate me so much or I keep saying:Self they dont hate you so much as they love your skill.Doesnt help much tho.
And call your insurance company to report the theft, even if you are not sure when it took place.

also I second the motion about letting people know about this .... theft.....even as I pray that this was someones surprise gone awry ...... once a friend thought his prize rifle was stolen and it turned out his wife was having some wood carving and engraving done on it as a b'day surprise.

Here is my clue 2. Haha didn't follow correctly until I read more posts and realized I made hst's. and then realized I was making them light on either side, went back to look at picture for clue and had to make more with light on the left THEN I read the post that said they could be mixed either way. Oh well, I have more orphan blocks for another quilt. [ATTACH=CONFIG]506820[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH=CONFIG]506821[/ATTACH]These are my untrimmed but put together triangles. They are in stacks of 10. My sewing room looks like well...pandemonium!! Cold is going away, AngelinaRN, you're right about classrooms being petri dishes. Waiting till Saturday. Anyone for a game of chicken foot while we wait?

oooh, I like games, what's "chickenfoot" never heard ofit.
it's got to be an inside job. who would know to steal quilts?
maybe you're getting a cedar chest, or closet..
this is a real mystery on the mystery train.
Dotty, I love the 'made fabric' that you used. great idea!

Jolo, it seems to me if you didn't know your house had been broken into or nothing else was taken then it was someone you know and knew you had those quilts in that closet. Have you shown anyone recently that closet?
