Tiny squares and triangles

Last night I went out for supper with my dear friend Suzie. And as it was her birthday not too long ago, I had made a little zippered pouch for her earlier this week. It was one of those nice little projects that keep you busy for two evenings or so. Not that I have too many unfinished items lying around, but I still really enjoy making things in one go.

It was by far my smallest patchwork project so far. The raw squares that I cut were two inches big, which seemed like a fairly manageable size. But after trimming one corner of each square in order to exchange the little triangles and then sewing them all back together, they were only just over one inch “big”. It really feels different to iron such an assembly when all you can see from the back is seams and more seams! 😛 But it all worked out and after quilting (do you like the contrasting green thread?) they stayed nice and flat. And I was glad that my friend liked the color scheme! I knew I’d better stay away from any kind of pink and chose some grey, teal and lime green instead.

Thanks again for the great evening, Suzie, I really enjoyed it!
