    Beautifully done, but a tad too colourful for me.
    Great set of blocks, Mamaskeeto. It seems that people aren't having so many problems with the triangle as I thought they might. Well done everyone.

    mama....your blocks look wonderful! The Elvis quilt is different isn't it? Such bright and just fun fabrics! She must like the appy blocks, there seem to be quite a few and I must say, she did a good job with them!

    Lesley...well, you know I would be having problems with it of course...I have it done..but I'm not liking the look of it. I'm struggling with getting that bottom triangle to have a point on the top :evil: I'm just NOT good at that seam!

    I just went back and looked at yours...I'm gonna take mine apart and do it over... :cry:

    Good loookin' Mama! Loved the quilt show and spent lots of time looking at the DJ meets Elvis! It was even wilder in person with the neon colors!
    There were some awesome quilts at the Bits and Pieces Quilt Show at Queeny Park, and it is still going on today! I won a door prize.

    Sorry you are having problems, Sandpat - Can you see from my close up that I put seams in that little cream triangle at the top? I left the bottom of the Y open when I was sewing in the bottom triangle. That enables you to open it up to help you get round that corner. It's the equivalent of snipping into the corner. I hope that helps.

    Mamaskeeto and Sandpat your blocks look great!
    Applique is getting a bit better, but I am going to go to great lengths to avoid Y seams (I get weary with repeated ripping out). With that being said, I appliqued the top diamond on the triangle. Is that considered a cheat?
