I really wasn't sure what to do with myself yesterday, and considered a few things before eventually pulling my recently acquired Frivol tin down off the shelf.
As you know, the tins don't really show much, so here is a look at the pattern sheet inside.
I had fun sorting the fabrics and then set about finding and cutting additional white fabric.
There are nearly 200 little triangles in this pic.
It took quite a while to cut them all.
After all the cutting of white was done I cut the first row of colours.
If I follow the cutting instructions provided I get scraps like the blue ones to the right of this pic.
Yes, they are blue, honest!
I juggled things around a little and came up with a less wasteful way of cutting, well I think so anyway.
I was going to stop there, telling myself that this was to be my 15 minutes in the morning project.
But then I told myself I should make one up, just to try out the pattern instructions.
It was fun to make.
But took a bit longer than I anticipated.
I'll see how it goes...
After playing in my room for the morning and most of the afternoon, I took a nap, given that we were up so early, I think I deserved it!
After a few rows of knitting, I'm happy to say, I slept well last night, and didn't wake until 7 am this morning.
That's more like it.

I'm not sure what I'll do today.
But I'm sure I'll think of something.

This is going to be such a pretty quilt. Your piecing is perfect. Weren’t you lucky to have the white fabric on hand. I’m glad you got a good night’s sleep. That has to be a good thing.
Great sleep! Hope you are setting up a new sleep pattern there.
I love the pattern for that one and have it some place - I emptied the tins a lot time ago and used most of the fabric for a variety of projects but saved most of the patterns
Oh you are tempting me to open that Frivol Tin I have but would you believe I've downloaded two new project this morning already...
The block does look great.
Pleased you had a good night sleeps....
That's a lovely block. And every one will easier along the way.
Yes, it looks very fiddly, but so pretty :-)
