I have to find something else to work on on the way to church.
Linking up to small quilts and doll quilts to show what we are working on.

I have working on re-configuring these blocks left from an old mystery. Sundays on the drive to church I worked at un-sewing all the white
triangles in each unit. Then I replaced them with pink as leaders &
enders. I think there were 80 units in all. Quite an undertaking, but doing it slowly it didn't seem overwhelming.
There was no deadline for this, so I just worked away at it slowly.
Until one day they were all ready to join together in blocks that looked
like their 25 sister blocks.
Then came the dilemma. There were already 25 blcoks like this. I added 20 more. 45 is not a very good number for a nicely proportioned quilt. Remove 3 for a 6x7 layout? Or add 3 for a 6x8 layout? Since I had enough leftover pieces and I didn't want any leftover blocks I went with add 3.
So now there are 48 blocks ready to go. I did all my math for sashings and picked out turquoise squares from the precut scrap drawer for setting stones. But for now it is back in the drawer as a UFO.

Do you have to drive a long distance to get to church? My husband used to have to drive long distances and I would take a hexie project. I got a lot done. I guess we need to go on another trip because I haven't worked on it for a while. Your blocks are very cheerful. It will be a happy quilt.
