July's Color Adventure From Alaska~

Ever get an idea that you really want to try,

but it challenges your brain..

a lot?

For my July block, I wanted to make something resembling

fireworks.

The way they shoot in the middle,

then radiate out.

After some playing around,

and lots of little blocks,

this is what I came up with.

I made my triangles by stitching around the squares,

and cutting diagonally in both

directions.

It is an easy way to make four identical ones.

I cut, pressed and trimmed all of the sections..

then arranged them for piecing.

 Two Firework blocks for July!

One has been delivered to Oregon 

before this posting.....

July's LYOF Goal~

Last winter I made a test basket out of scraps.

I took parts I liked from one basket, ideas from another

and came up with one the size/shape

but you know how that goes...

In July my goal is to get one done for a biking family we know

with a new little one

on the way.....

I will be linking up with 

the ever wonderful
