WIP Wednesday

One of my first posts was about a Thangles project I had completed with 1930's fabrics.  It was a lot of fun and I knew I wanted to use them again. Well, that time has come.  A couple of years ago, I ordered fabric from Connecting Threads, and I am finally getting around to using it. I have had visions of what I wanted to do, and I am super excited to see them come to life.

So, the first task was to get all the triangles made with the Thangles; holy moly! What have I gotten myself into! It's all good because it will totally be worth it in the end, right?!? I hope so because this is turning out to be a lot of triangles.  

I might actually need to count the number of squares in this when I am all done.  But wait, that's it?!? After all those triangles? :O

Math has never been my strength, and once again it's laughing at me.  I didn't put together that 2" squares make 4" squares and that means there needs to be a lot of squares to be a decent sized quilt. So, back to the sewing machine...

But that's okay.  I have the fabric, I have the Thangles that I need to use up, and I have the interest in seeing the finished product.  Maybe by the end of the year? I hope! right now I have a lot of trimming and pressing to do.  I'd better get to work!

I am linking up with Freshly Pieced for the WIP Wednesday.  Thanks for checking out my blog, and I love hearing from people if you want to leave a note.
