Triangle QAL

Well I'm still on target with the Triangle QAL hosted by The Sassy Quilter. I've gone from a stack of beautiful prints (Clover Sunshine-Cloudy by Alison Glass), added in some stash solids as I cut big 9" triangles . . .
And now have my rows pieced and overflowing the design wall.
I don't need to document how many time I used my seam ripper to get this far, do I?

    I couldn't live with my unpicker! All part of the learning process I think! Love the triangles though!

    Love it! I need to do this. There are just too many amazing projects and not enough time.

    Well it's comforting to know you've had to rip out a few too. 😉 I started my first row piecing one triangle at a time with pretty good success. But I was curious as to why Paula suggested sewing them in pairs and then sewing them together. Figured it must be better than what I was doing. NOT!!!! For the life of me I could not figure out how to line the pairs up and ripped out my seam about 4 times, called it quits and went back to one at a time. You? And did you pin and press each seam as you went? I did, and felt like it took for.ever. I wondered if a more experienced quilter had any tips or shortcuts, if there are any, she'd be willing to share? 😄

    Very lovely! I have had to rip out a bunch as well. Usually when I'm sewing pairs of triangles into pairs of pairs.

    Your colors are wonderful, and it looks great, so the seam ripper must have been worth it ;-)

    Wow! I love your color scheme for this triangle quilt! So rich and pretty!
    I was wondering if I am the only person that would be ripping , ripping, ripping to get them lined up correctly! That's why I haven't started one yet...

    Me too with that seam ripper. I snapped a picture, had it sitting beside me, and still couldn't get it right. I have 4 more rows to go.

    Seamripper time gets to go undocumented. The bright and cheeriness you have going here is so much fun!

    Sewing the rows together is most likely gonna give my seam ripper a big workout ... and, shhhh, we don't ever want to document the number! :-)) great fun colors!!
