Back to Vegas ...

Last week I was directing you along the Road to Vegas. This week I'm introducing you to Roulette Wheel.  Hmmm ... is there a trend here?

This four patch quilt block is made entirely of half square triangles, in two different sizes. The construction is a little different than the norm, as not all of the triangles are made into squares. With careful handling of the individual pieces (to avoid distortion of the bias edge), this block will go together in no time.

Reflections on Gambling

  • There is no gambling like politics.
    ~ Benjamin Disraeli

  • Gambling: The sure way of getting nothing for something.
    ~ Wilson Mizner

  • Part of it went on gambling, and part of it went on women. The rest I spent foolishly.
    ~ George Raft
