Just a quick post to show progress:
The borders are sewn on!
And I have 60 cute little bonus half-square triangles! What to do with them?
They are only 1.75″ square!
These babies might just sew themselves into a small pinwheel quilt, but that is yet to be determined.

The plan:
Coming to life:
This will be a bed quilt…I don’t have a good way to photograph it, but you can see that I am making some progress.
I had originally planned on this being a scrappy red and white quilt. But then I won the gorgeous Island Batik fabric (so excited)! Why didn’t I switch some of those half square triangles to flying geese? It would’ve been easier. Alas…I didn’t think to do that until after I cut the fabric.
Nope…not all my seams are lined up. I’m okay with that. Seeking perfectionism doesn’t make me happy. My happiness is in the creative process, and one day, a finished project.
Speaking of slow stitching (you can’t be much slower than me), have you seen Mark Lipinski’s blog featuring the Slow Stitching Movement? I find it quite inspiring. Perhaps you will too!
Now, slowly on to the borders.
After a vacation, and a bout of congestion, I have finally played with on point settings using the Good Luck quilt block.
If you are looking for the straight set inspiration, click here.
The following design shows how the Good Luck quilt block looks set side-by-side in an on point setting.
Still on point, but with some rotation:
Not a fan, yet, but still experimenting.
What if I add more value?
Color and contrast can make a considerable impact.
I’m seeing pinwheels!
Still the same block; still set on point:
I might change the border, but I am liking the last two designs. How about you?
