I need practice working with triangles, sewing on the bias, and matching the points. So I picked up a kit for this quilt top at the November meeting of my quilting guild: East Bay Heritage Quilters. It's part of the guild's children's quilt project.
One tip I'd heard from guild members was to pair up the triangles, lay them out right sides together, then press before sewing. It helped minimize stretching along the long bias seam.
Matching the points and corners was pretty easy -- pin first, sew slowly, then rip out and re-sew any that didn't match.
I turned this top in at my favorite quilt shop which put me in exactly the right place to pick up fabric to make a quilt for Charles.
