"Come on Get Happy"  Triangle Along - HERE I debated over the name of this little quilt. I felt like it was needing a name like Lily pad or Sunlight on the Pond. After my trials of working on this quilt a few weeks ago and I titled my post "Come on Get Happy", it sort of stuck in my head like the song.  You remember it right??? Partridge Family probably dates me a bit but it makes me smile to sing the song so I think it will make someone happy to get this quilt with that name too! Linking up with the and Crazy mom Quilts Finish it up Friday  HERE Update on this quilt. It has been given to the disaster quilt drive for Pilger and Beaver Crossing tornado relief!

That is the song I have been singing since I started sewing the rows together for the Triangle Along. I don't think that is what I am going to name this but I thought if I kept saying those lyrics then maybe....just maybe things would start going right. Not! The quilt along triangles are not hard to put together. I have made a couple of smaller triangle quilts. Something in the stars were not lined up with me is my guess on this one. I still have one mistake to turn around but I have never had to rip out so much in my life. I kept all of the rows, pairs etc just how they were supposed to be but next thing I knew they were backwards. I took the time to press each row in opposite directions, first with two pairs and then as I when I had four together...then suddenly half of them were ironed the wrong way in the same row???  Like I said....stars were not aligned. I am pondering the idea that the first layout I had was a star pattern and then I changed my mind...not sure. Jus

Everyone is doing the Triangle! It's raining triangles over at The Sassy Quilter HERE . I dug into that stash of fabric and just started cutting bits of each and came up with 190 triangles pretty quickly. I am going to do some layout work on these to see what I need to cut more of. I think this will be a fun playtime project. I hope to play off some of the built in geometrics. I am going to link up with  WIP Wed HERE and Let's Bee Social HERE and The Triangle QAL with Paula HERE
