WIPW - 8 at a time

Work In Progress Wednesday, here we are again in the middle of the week. These Wednesdays come along so quickly!

Trinity Green
I started making 8 strips of paper at the same time to speed up the process.
Since last week I made 337 triangles and the total now stands at 741.

Unfortunately I had to shelve this project for a week to be able to do the bonsai block for the Partnership quilt project.
However, I can give you another teaser, a small detail of the sketch.

I really like the green triangles! Are you stitching these down by machine?

Shami Immanuel said...

great progress.

Julie Fukuda said...

Aaawwww, that is not much of a hint!

margaret said...

have not tried making triangles like this before not sure how you do it but I am sure t is a very accurate way to get them perfect. Teasing us with your bonsai

Queeniepatch said...

Oh, yes! No way I would be patient, or accurate enough, to do this by hand!

Queeniepatch said...

I was lucky to find time to work hard on this. May my good fortune continue!

Queeniepatch said...

Oh, Julie, you have lived long enough in Japan to see what this is part of!!!

Queeniepatch said...

OK, I'll try to photograph the process for next week's WIPW report. The result is usually accurate, but the placement of the pieces is kind of 'backwards' and can lead to mistakes that have to be unstitched...
I'm not teasing your with my BONSAI. The sketch is of something very different!

Hi Queenie,
That's impressive work on those triangles. WOW!. These triangles are teasers for me. now another one! keep up the good work. wishing you more fortune!

Queeniepatch said...

I am already getting bored with machine piecing! Do you ever use a sewing machine? It is fast, but not relaxing nor fun!!!

Isabelle said...

Wow Queenie.....your colorful triangles are just nice.....oh !! yes, I use sewing machine but not for a long while because my back hurts me :(
Have a lovely day,
Isa

Janie said...

Fun plans here, I'm looking forward to see how it all comes out.

Queeniepatch said...

Yes, you are right, sitting for long at the machine one gets back or neck ache. It's important to listen to the body and take a break from time to time. Luckily I only have short spurts of time to sew so plenty of natural breaks, ha, ha!!!

Queeniepatch said...

I did some more work on the sketch and will soon be ready to prepare the fabric.

Oh I like those triangles. I have to make a pieced cushion for my patchwork group Xmas present. You are giving me ideas! But, I don't have a clue what the other piece is.

Queeniepatch said...

The triangles will eventually turn into a green quilt and I just hope I have the patience to do it!
As for the other project, HC, I will not disclose the full picture until the very end. It will continue to be a TEASER, sorry, Carolyn!
