A Nerd Quilts

More Hourglass Blocks

 

I've been making more of those hourglass blocks.  I think I'm going to make a simple lap quilt - I've got this green fabric with little triangles on it (you can see some of it in the Snowflake quilt, the X of the left block) that I want to use for sashing.  117 blocks (9 x 13) would make a nice big lap quilt, but I could stop as early as 63 (7 x 9) if I get tired of making these.

Completely Unrelated Nonsense

I've got startitis, and I've got it bad.

I'm not sure exactly what I'll be doing with these...

 

... but they sure are a great way to avoid cutting binding strips for your otherwise finished potholder.  Or doing the hand quilting on your niece's quilt (which you were supposed to give her parents before she was born, and she's almost 6 months old).
