There have been lots of Mandala patterns over the years....

LOST MANDALA...

Morning Hookers, a terrible night I'm afraid so I'm likely to be asleep in the day today lol...hope you all managed a good night.

A memory came up on Facebook yesterday and i couldn't remember what it was...IT'S VERY BRIGHT!

Found it this morning while doing a bit of picture file housekeeping. The memory picture above and below the Mandala i was working on.....

Being used as a mat.....no idea when i did it but i haven't used that table cloth for a few years now 2015/2016 maybe?

CUSHION CAL: Part 3 TRIANGLE INFILLS

Thank you all, for the fabulous response to this Mini Cal...

The final in-fill round today then we can join the cushion together.
BLANKET: if you are making the 9 block blanket then these triangle infills are a different colour on each block...
I used rose, gold, parchment, sea breeze, denim, spice, sage, meadow, raspberry 
on the 9 blocks 

Please be aware that it does curl a little and will need blocking to see the effect, 

or wait until complete and fill it with a nice fluffy cushion pad 

PART 3 INFILL TRIANGLE...ONE COLOUR 

NOTES: another really simple 2 round motif, join as you go into the point of the diamond/spear shape and the point of the shell stitch.

Again tRy before doing the join as you go for beginners.

NOTE: THIS TRIANGLE MOTIF SHOULD BE IN ONE COLOUR ONLY 

so that the 'petals' of part 2 stand out, not as the multi coloured how to pictures look 

The usual finger wrap of 5/6wraps

ROUND 1: 12sc [12dc], into circle

ROUND 2: ch6, 1tr [1dtr], into same st, 

1dc [1r], into next 3 sts, 1tr [1dtr], ch3, 1tr [1dtr], into next st, 

1dc [1tr], into next 3 sts, 1tr [1dtr], ch3, 1tr [1dtr],  

into next st, finish with 1 dc [1tr], into last 3 sts, sl st into ch6 loop.

NOTE: replace the middle ch st with a sl st to join to the cushion, so for the first point...
 ch4 , replace the 5th ch with a sl st, to join, then ch1, 1tr to complete first corner.

The triangle sits between each diamond/spear shape of part 2. 

sl st into the ch3 point of the diamond and the point of the shell st and the second point of the diamond
