TEMPUS FUGIT (RSC for orange feb)

                                                    "Time does fly" = hourglass blocks
                                                                big and teeney little ones...
                                                                    I guess =maybe...
                                                                     Hours and Minutes ;)))

                   [The "minute" ones I  free cut diagonally twice from 2 1/2" squares ......]

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

I am using this years' RSC to try out blocks that are new to me and
to try to get a handle on better techniques for myself....I know most
of you have been sewing these for ages, but I haven't--being triangle
challenged..;000

In January I made a few of these hour glasses (bigger sized) 
and kept on turning them so that I ended up sewing them 
the wrong way round!!! 
Frustrating....

So, for February I decided that I would work on a system so that I would
be able to orient them correctly...and it works for me...YAY I feel
confident now making them from all this practicing...;)))

        And here are some of my crumb blocks using tiny 
cut offs :

Below I added petite 1/2 sq triangles..
                                           
                                 Come and Visit with Angela at Super Scrappy to see what all we
                                                         scrappy quilters are up to.............

                                          I got a [little] head start this month ;)))
  Hope you are having a fun time sewing this Saturday...
