. . . for now, at least! (Check last week's posts to see the other 3 quilts I made with many of the same fabrics.) I emptied my workshop box of all the blocks and parts using the same fabrics and found that I could squeeze one more quilt out of them! Added a lovely yellow print for the setting triangles and here she is! Holiday Splendor #2: 46" x 48"  These are the units I put together with larger triangles. These went on the back: Diamonds and triangles I had lots of red diamonds with small yellow triangles.

Here's one of the 6 blocks. Magic Triangles Block: 12" x 14" I made a LOT of extra block parts and pulled open the box the other day. I was able to make not one, but TWO more quilts. I...
