Finished this top today, but can't sandwich it until the backing fabric comes.
Triumph of hope over experience :D

Oooh - lovely!  All those colours, and only the smallest amount of green! What colour is the backing fabric?
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

Hat off to you doing all those triangles Lowena.  I've come to the conclusion, doing the BOMs, that I am not a big fan of triangles.
Life's too short for ironing.

Lovely and with black sashing  :D. As you say, it does make the colours sing!

The backing is blue Acorn and yes  :| Ella, it'll probably go in  the crate  :D
I don't mind triangles Ploshy as, with my special ruler and / or my Sissix I can get some accuracy. It's cutting strips and long rectangles I find quite difficult. :| ( like in September's BOM )

 ><  Far too interesting to put in a crate.  I love spotting the same block in different colours and different orientations.   :loveit:

Thanks Rubes, but, undeserved... as, unlike you, I can't machine quilt to save my life  :| :D
