    I love it!! The pattern of the material in this one is great and love the colors, can't wait to see more.
    I might have to check out that template you are talking about, sounds like something I could use.

    I'll let my know daughter that you all like her fabric choice. :) If I spend some dedicated time on it it should be a pretty quick one. There are only 6 pieces per block plus sewing the handle on. I'm just top stitching the handle down both sides of the strip very close to the edge so that's just a couple minutes work. I thought of hand applique but... noooo. I did another block last night but most of the time was spent getting the backing into the quilting frame for the log cabin quilt.

    How do I get so many tops done? I get home from work around 5:30, spend an hour or so unwinding, make coffee, read mail, maybe check the stock market and investments, get something comfortable on, then I head to the sewing room. Turn on the TV to listen to and work on something.

    I live alone so there's no one to want me to do something else... like cook dinner. I'm not usually hungry for dinner since I eat a good meal at lunch. I do enjoy my time alone after interacting all day at work. There's not much housework to do either.

    When I did the first one without using the point template and it wasn't even across the bottom, I remembered to use it.

    This is using the point cutting template. Without it, where EXACTLY do I line up the points of the small triangles to the large one? It didn't come out even just doing it.
