I am still an undergraduate in the CSF (Chicago School of Fusing) and I often work at fusing "assignments" to work out problems and ideas. I learn by doing. Mrs. Mel's new pattern quilt posting the other day set me to wondering, "How'd she do that?" Well, I'm still not certain, but after my own feeble attempts, I at least have a heightened sense of appreciation for her carefully executed points. Such exercises are a lesson in humility for sure. I give you my poor attempts and hers for comparison. I've got a long way to go!

But I expect you learnt a lot from doing it and your piece may be different but its no less interesting!
Darling Cheryl,
Start with a half-square triangle and add strips one at a time on alternate sides of the triangle. Eventually you will trim off the edges, and add the wiggly strips as decoration.
Your enthusiastic version is worth more than my "neat" version.
The good thing about trying is that you did it anyway. I'm pretty new to some things too so trust me, mistakes are plenty and force me to learn, lol!
