Sewed all the half square triangles together yesterday. All ready to trim tomorrow and sew into strips. Love school holidays! We have eased out of birthday celbrations for Grace into a balance of sewing and whatever else the family wants to do so I can keep on sewing!
There has been a lot of pinning... a lot! Pressing seams open, trimming and pinning. Its all a bit too precise for my usual style, but the end result will be worth it.
And here is my d'oh moment. Just when I am getting into the groove of it, thinking how clever I am, how all this trimming and pinning is paying off when I flip open the seam I have just sewn to realize I have pinned it wrong and created a row of squares instead of my zig zag. That to me indicates its time for a coffee and blogging break before I reach for the unpicker.

Actually, if that's the whole top, I'd leave it! I think that row of squares looks interesting and intentional. The pink and purple are just darling.

I actually like the off-set row, too! As long as the change isn't down the centre of the quilt, I think it adds interest!
Opps! Can you zigzag back the other way and make that the centre? Where they 'arrow' into the middle...IYKWIM
