A couple of years ago, my friend Mrs. Nakazawa, gave me a couple bags of hand marked triangles that she had made for something. She thought I'd be able to make use of them but actually, as a machine piecer I didn't think I'd have the patience to sew with them. Hand marked, scissor cut. They would be too hard to work into a machine pieced quilt. I debated tossing the bags out... but instead stuffed them in my closet.
Yeah! The little triangles aren't the exact size I need for the Pine Burr block but with some minor marking and cutting they work just fine and there is a lovely assortment of fabrics! One of the few bags of stuff STUFFED in my closet that I've actually found a use for!
Thus another Pine Burr block has been made and I'm working on a third.
Dear me... This looks like it is trying to grow into a quilt.

funny that just yesterday I was looking at Pine Burr quilts on the internet and thinking I'd like to make one. But I don't want a hand project just now so I guess I'll put it on hold. Yours is beautiful!
Very nice! I understand completely. Yes, I stuff bags of yarn here and there, then pull them out and find I have forgotten treasures. :)
Did you see this post on Bonnie Hunter's blog? You're only 10 blocks away from a beautiful fantastic quilt! Lol

Your Pine Burr blocks are beautiful. You do amazing hand work! I love to hand piece but don't know if I have patience for this block. Again just beautiful.
They are gorgeous and being able to use some leftover bits makes it even better!
To me they ar lovely (lot of fussing around though :-).
I can't wait to see more blocks!
