making a special quilt

 step 1

4 1/2" squares sewn together into triangles

step 2 cut all those triangles apart!

 step 3

press all those triangles open!

trim to 4" blocks

 step 4

sew pairs of triangles together

step 5 

sew pairs of triangles into hourglass blocks

 step 6

cut hourglass blocks into strips and flip pieces around to create stars

Disappearing hourglass block turns into 6 1/2" star blocks...

stay tuned for the next step

all those blocks needed to be trimmed, this was just one little pile of trimmings

there were lots of others!

Winter chills coming...

 on my walk this morning, one of the little creeks in flood (subsiding now)

 and looking upstream

 love the trees along this building in Autumn

 bit of a play in the potting section of the garden

 this rose was a little frosty this morning

and this little cutie turns 25 today!

Happy birthday Diva

hope  you are enjoying your Autumn garden too
