This week we had three ladies (and one 10 week old little girl) in our Beginner's Patchwork Class at
Pippablue. If you remember, we conquered piecing squares (nine patches and square in a square) in
last week's class. The square in a square block was homework. We had one gorgeous one return to class for us all to ooh and ahh over!

This week was then dedicated to several methods of piecing half square triangles. Again, they did a fabulous job! Want to see what we created? We started off with pinwheel blocks. A tried and true block that can easily be spiced up with modern fabric.

We then went on to the spiced-up traditional sawtooth star to work on piecing flying geese units. Only one was completed in class. I'm sure we will see the other two next week. They were nearly finished with the flying geese when it was time to pack up and go home.

And for homework, they'll have a Star of Le Moine (or recently re-dubbed the Starflower). It's so similar to the pinwheel block I'm sure they'll be flying through these.

Next week we're going wonky and doing a little improv. I think we're all looking forward to breaking free!
