Tryouts..............


The triangle squares were auditioning for the new quilt's layout last night.  The star would end up 30" so 2 of them plus more triangles placed as borders would complete a 60" x 80" quilt top.  

My original plan was to make a zig zag quilt, either horizontal or vertical orientation.  

Then I decided to try the on point settings both horizontal and vertical.  I need to cut 8 more light triangles and sew the last blocks before I can get serious about the layout.

I mowed the front yard grass yesterday afternoon while it was still 59 degrees.  Today will be closer to 70 and I need to finish the side yard and mow the back.  The weatherman said 39 degrees for our area overnight last night so I felt hopeful there would not be a chance of frost after all.

Yes to the star. How about bordering the 2 stars with the zigzags? We got down to 39 last night, but it's sunny and clear so hopefully it will be warmer today.

Your tryouts are all lovely, I do vote for THE STAR, it lights up the screen like all stars do.
