I stitched on either side of the line I had drawn and then carefully cut them apart. Some pressing and squaring up with my trusty "Blok-Lok" ruler, and VOILA!!! Gorgeous little half-square triangles!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I stitched these together into blocks, as you can see here (polishing fingernails on shirt - how do you like 'dem points?):</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj9Oi141jOYEMCbPZg9FVjtBsIATVSHYFQAr26J5i4UpRGybLQ1EMvLghy3_1Eg7Rbv0kJ51lFf3HNpIVNvMxIGc1yd1h45IzvXkc2HnjsHpq6Y9jEd8YPSyD6hUaqEVUvY9J3FnucVztdQ7kAAT3IPS_hnl0PY3QOc18IqxbT48uT3dm5gyslk1zmO=s635" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="635" data-original-width="500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj9Oi141jOYEMCbPZg9FVjtBsIATVSHYFQAr26J5i4UpRGybLQ1EMvLghy3_1Eg7Rbv0kJ51lFf3HNpIVNvMxIGc1yd1h45IzvXkc2HnjsHpq6Y9jEd8YPSyD6hUaqEVUvY9J3FnucVztdQ7kAAT3IPS_hnl0PY3QOc18IqxbT48uT3dm5gyslk1zmO=w315-h400" width="315" /></span></a></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I was able to make five of these to accompany my embroideries of the holiday sweaters.

Why?<br /><br />Because this is a time of year when so many people are sad. Some are depressed because they won't get many presents. Some are sad because they can't afford to give many presents. Some are sad because there is someone special in their life who won't be around this Christmas -- perhaps because they are estranged, or perhaps that person has passed away.<br /><br />They look around at the merriment and the mayhem and they sigh. It is for you, dear friend, that I want to pause and give you a virtual hug. If I could, I would wrap you in my softest quilt, and tell you that you are not alone; you are loved. Because that is what Christmas is really all about. It's about pure, unconditional, irrepressible, unbelievably awesome, self-denying love. The love that brought God to man.<br /><p></p><blockquote class="tr_bq"><i><span class="versenum" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22px; position: relative; top: 0px; vertical-align: top;"> </span><span face=""helvetica neue" , "verdana" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">For God so loved</span><span class="crossreference" data-cr="#cen-NIV-26137V" data-link="(<a href="#cen-NIV-26137V" title="See cross-reference V">V</a>)" face=""helvetica neue" , "verdana" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.625em; line-height: 22px; position: relative; top: 0px; vertical-align: top;"></span><span face=""helvetica neue" , "verdana" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;"> the world that he gave</span><span class="crossreference" data-cr="#cen-NIV-26137W" data-link="(<a href="#cen-NIV-26137W" title="See cross-reference W">W</a>)" face=""helvetica neue" , "verdana" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.625em; line-height: 22px; position: relative; top: 0px; vertical-align: top;"></span><span face=""helvetica neue" , "verdana" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;"> his one and only Son,</span><span class="crossreference" data-cr="#cen-NIV-26137X" data-link="(<a href="#cen-NIV-26137X" title="See cross-reference X">X</a>)" face=""helvetica neue" , "verdana" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.625em; line-height: 22px; position: relative; top: 0px; vertical-align: top;"></span><span face=""helvetica neue" , "verdana" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;"> that whoever believes</span><span class="crossreference" data-cr="#cen-NIV-26137Y" data-link="(<a href="#cen-NIV-26137Y" title="See cross-reference Y">Y</a>)" face=""helvetica neue" , "verdana" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.625em; line-height: 22px; position: relative; top: 0px; vertical-align: top;"></span><span face=""helvetica neue" , "verdana" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;"> in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
