I decided to do some work on the Midnight Flight quilt. I have all the sub blocks, but one done. The blocks left to do are the chevron blocks. While listening to Bonnie Hunter's archived Quilt Cam, I was able to get a small pile done. I am taking some time now to draw the lines on the light fabric.
When drawing the line, I am taking the time to draw the additional line on the corner to make the bonus half square triangle. My jar below is accumulating a stack of half square triangles, with minimal effort. The half square triangles measure 1 1/2" and will finish in a quilt 1". This is a no waste effort that helps me get a head start on the making of another quilt.
The pattern of this second quilt is not yet determined. I was thinking maybe a bears paw quilt, but not sure at this time. I will just keep making them as I make the chevrons for the Midnight Flight quilt or any other quilt that will give me the bonus half square triangles.
