It has been too hot for me to get excited about my knitting, and just lately with the summer colours inspiring me from my garden, and along the sea front, I drafted a design for some needlepoint.
I have always loved playing with half square triangles in my quilts, and marvel at the huge range of geometric designs you can achieve with this simple little block.
I am making it up as I go along, which is the way I always design my quilts....block by block.

ohhh, that is so pretty! and it looks like it's both satisfying and totally addictive to do, too;^)
That is gorgeous!
When I am out of my rag rug making phase, I may try to make a small version like yours and frame it with a small embroidery hoop.
Thanks for the inspiration!
What fun! I love all the floss colors--don't colors just make you happy?
REally pretty!
That looks very exciting to me, wonderful colours and a great project while you wait for knitting weather.
