four.

Yesterday I made a bunch of these

Half square triangles.

I have a few baby quilts to make and thought

I'd begin with this simple block.

What can I do with four?

one.


two.



three.




four.

And how, you may ask, did you get your blocks to be so perfect?
I had a little (lot of) help.

Triangles on a roll come in real handy.
I'm pretty good at....
liberated.
wonky.
crazy.

I'm not good at...
1/4 inch.
matching points.
You get the picture.

I put two pieces of fabric together.

Right sides together.

Lay that handy paper on top.

Pin.

Sew along the lines.

I know I never would have tried these on my own.

I'm NOT a gadget person.

But they were a gift.

Sooo......Now I'm kinda hooked.

Cut.

Fold that paper back.

Now here's the real trick!

The really good Hot tip!

Hold that edge on the left and RIP the paper off!

quick!

This little piece comes right off!

Press.

Viola!

I'm OFF to make some more!

While I did that this little friend helped out!

She's probably my best friend in the kitchen.

Four ingredients.

Put those meatballs in the crockpot with the sauce.

serve on rolls with melted cheese.

Did you notice there's not much bread?

I forgot to take a picture until we'd already started eating.

AAAH!

there's only 1/2 a roll left....

And one more bite!

Wait!!!

Let me get a picture!!!

I almost didn't make it!
