Call Me Crazy Quilter!

Good Morning!

It is lovely and humid here today in the Valley and I plan to do some more sewing on my Postage Stamp quilt before going to work today. I plan to go through my large bin of half square triangles and cut them down to size, that is 1.5 x 1.5 so that I can start on my pinwheels. Each row will be separated by a 1.5 inch strip of red alternating with pinwheels. I still have a long way to go but it’s fun and easy to do!

Come on, I know there are others besides me who have left over triangles from various projects! I reuse them in different projects as I am seriously a scrappy person.

Here is the first segment, followed by more and then down to the end. There are supposed to be 42 four patch squares but I must have miscounted on a couple as they are short by a couple of blocks. No big problem, just add on. I measured it on my bed and it has plenty of length and overhang to make a good sized quilt. The final picture is my box of leftover half-square triangles.

Have a great day!

Hello and welcome to my website! My name is Donna. My hubby and I are retired. We have twin daughters and are blessed with 4 grandchildren. We are owned by a cat, Purrl. who loves to supervise and is very nosy. I have been quilting since 1996. In addition to making quilts for my family and friends, I also make charity quilts for Marjoree Mason Center and Valley Children's Hospital. Marjoree Mason Center is a local organization here that helps and supports battered and abused women and children get out of abusive relationships. Every Christmas I make several baby quilts for the women, with a small stuffed animal or toy. I also belong to the San Joaquin Valley Quilters' Guild here in Fresno. Since I retired, I have been trying to finish most of my UFOs, but my stash is way out of control! I have lately gotten into designing quilts and enjoy that even more than sewing them! I love colors of all types and consider myself to be a true scrappy quilter and I do love playing with designs. I am the owner/moderator of Scrappy Quilters on Facebook, where we are very active with many mystery quilts, challenges and swaps.
