trying a different path

"if plan "a" didn't work out,
the alphabet has 25 more letters."


the apple cores seem beyond my ability to concentrate at the moment. i need something a little less taxing.  a ten thousand pyramid quilt is just the ticket! i have a plethora of small scraps and these tiny two inch triangles are looking pretty awesome.

no plan. no color scheme. just random pulls from the scrap baskets. pull. cut. stitch. repeat. with the first seven rows completed, i'm well on my way to a very large quilt! 

during this covid-19 pandemic and the resulting social distancing and lockdowns, a project like this can be very calming. especially when you just don't want to think for a while...

  2. LOVE it! I started a tumbler quilt years ago. 2" finished tumblers. Pieced by hand. I'm thinking I should find that & start up again. Thanks for the inspiration. Y'all stay safe! Hug Bohdi.

  3. The randomness of it is its beauty. And, its smallness. Maybe I should sew one!
