As I hate to be behind or late with anything, I have started on my November Island batik project. I am making a blue and yellow quilt using the SunnySide Up collection along with some of the basics and foundations fabrics. I have made a lot of half square triangle blocks. The stack below is forty of them.
I made these using Triangles on a Roll. When you are making lots of the same unit this is really fast.
Here is my handy tip: When I am working on a project and making pieces to put into blocks later, I use these
cheap inexpensive plastic envelopes from the Dollar store.
It keeps all of my pieces together so they don't get lost in the clutter. They will hold a lot more than you realize. This one has 96 half square triangle blocks as well as 48 border sections.

Not hopping, but will comment on your HSTs. Blue and yellow will be striking, it’s always a great combination! I LOVE your dollar store storage bags. I must look for those!
I made my older brother a yellow and blue quilt and it was beautiful just your will. And in batiks to boot it will be fabulous! Keep inspiring us.
Blue and yellow is one of my favorite combinations - so I'm sure that your quilt is going to be gorgeous - but crimeny - we have to wait until November??????????? - Rats!! - LOL - ;))
I'm going to look for those envelopes. Thanks for the tip. These fabrics are beautiful.
