Moira - Update

There has been a lot going on in my life lately, and I've needed something mindless in the way of sewing.   In straightening up my messes around the house while looking for something I found a sandwich baggie of small pieces of Fairy Frost that had been cut off while I was making blocks for a design contest 4 years ago and I found some triangle papers for paper-piecing from Missouri Star Quilt Shop in the same tote.   The true blues and purples are the only colors left to work with.

 The same cream FF fabric has been used as the common fabric in the triangles and will be used as the background in whatever I finally do with these.

Pinks, turquoise, green, and browns were finished first.
Reds, oranges, and peaches were by far the biggest part of the scraps except for the cream.

I've been playing around with possible layouts for these, and think I've decided.....but other things have taken priority at the present time.

The triangles unfinished are only 4.25 inches on a side so whatever I do won't end  up real big.


 And what has momentarily taken over my life at present is the making of masks.....two basic styles.   Using lots of stash for them which is good and the income from them is helpful since work is back to not paying us again......over 20 have been made and delivered so far, and I have almost 50 more in process.

Nice work, Moira! It's been ages since I poster here. I know those masks will find good homes and be really appreciated.

Love your masks, they are all so colorful. Those triangle are pretty sweet, can't wait to see what you do with them.
