I decided to take a break from making triangles (current tally is 542 completed) and start piecing things together. Sewing them into two-color strips goes pretty quickly, but the rest is a bit more challenging. They are a bit too rounded at the corners to join nicely like I wanted. After consulting my good friend Google, I tried steam-blocking them. It worked okay, but the purple ones seem to be consistently smaller than the others, plus it would have taken forever, so I abandoned that idea. This necessitated something to fill in the gaps. After a couple of attempts, I came up with a pattern to make little black rings that fit nicely. I think I've found a winner. They're tedious little things though. Ugh. I seem to always forget what an onerous task it is sewing squares together and weaving in a million ends. Maybe this time I'll learn my lesson.
