Layout ideas

I like to practice for my swaps before I jump right in.

So I took these.

a nice blend of neutrals

And made some HSTs (half-square triangles)

zig zag?

And I'm trying a few lay-outs.

diamonds?

I've a feeling this will become a pillow.

Maybe I'll even make one for us.  Because Jay would be thrilled to not have to bring the pillow from the bed to the couch so he can have something upon which to rest his head.

  3. They are both nice but for a pillow the bottom one is grand!

  4. My boss has a board (vertical) she sticks up her fabric on to decide on how to piece it. I think she said it was felt covering, ... well something solid - perhaps a piece of pressed plywood? Kinda like the felt boards used for Sunday School stories when we were kids. =)

  7. Poor Jay, I think he definitely needs a cushion/pillow - I really like the bottom one. HSTs are clever little things. Juliex
