Our host for the Stay at Home Round Robin challenge this week is The Darling Dogwood. She suggested that we use triangles. That should not be difficult to achieve. Many, many traditional blocks are made of triangular pieces. I decided to browse the very useful Quilter’s Recipe Book, by Celia Eddy to get some ideas that would work well with my design. In addition to using triangles, I needed a pattern that was not too difficult and would work well in a long row.
Here’s a four-square block called Brave World.
Each unit is composed of three triangles and a square and four units make up one block. I have specific plans for the square piece, so I say yes to Brave World. But to make it work for my border, I will only make 2 units. Here are two test blocks:
This photograph gives you a broad hint at the subject matter for this week. I have fabric with some animal silhouettes. These are the creatures of the forest and arctic ice that have been displaced by fire and melt. I also have some beehives. No bees though. They are out of the picture for now.

And here is my quilt at the conclusion of the round.
I like the way that the triangles in round one are in conversation with the triangles in this round. You may notice the white sashing. I am using this design feature to outline the borders like a snail’s trail. My quilt is now 30 inches square.
Thanks for stopping by. If you want to see the work of other quilters who are taking the challenge, enter the linky party HERE.
