Have you been following the Modern Quilt Guild’s 100 days of modern quilting?
Some talented stuff out there.
The other day there was a great tutorial on half-square rectangles. I thought to myself, I messed with those last year. So I went digging in the land of forgotten projects in the bin under my bed. I found the pillow top I made (it was all alone, so I’ve found some extra space to stash things).
Here’s the thing though, I thought I made them the way the tutorial does, but they don’t look the same nor are they pieced together the same.
I had to ponder it for a bit to remember how I created them and now maybe I’ll even push this up the list of unfinished projects in need of quilting.
I would have liked to go larger with this, but I’m unfortunately out of both of these print fabrics and the ebony chambray is no where to be found.
And just because I seem to be a bit obsessed with triangles, I washed the floor and basted this last night.
I used up the scraps for the back and paired it with one of my favorite kid prints (it also found its way to the back of my Snippets Quilt), no good pictures so that will have to wait.
I’m off to work, but Sunday and Monday it is SEW SEW SEW for me. I hope to have a class sample for spring inspired by this quilt.
Happy Saturday!
I just love what you do with triangles. I’ve always thought I’m not much for triangles, but every time I see yours, I’m intrigued!! Have a great sewing weekend!!
Absolutely gorgeous….I am so behind on my blog reading! Can’t wait to see what else you’ve been up to!
I REALLY likes those diamonds. I bought a lot of your chambray scraps in a destash last year. I have something that looks really similar to the ebony. But maybe it’s actually something else, because I’m sure you would not have sold it…
You have the black. Enjoy the chambray, it’s getting hard to find…and yah, kinda kicking myself for selling it, but finding it here and there.
I’m loving the series on the Modern Quilt Guild, but I hope you remember how you did those diamonds 🙂 Giggling just a little at the bottle you have to help the pin basting along 😉
the label even matches my quilt.
I adore your triangle quilt. How did you deal with seams on it? Open? I’m making a triangle quilt (started sewing tonight), and I am thinking open would be best, but I’d really LIKE to just iron to the side, LOL.
look at all those pins! and it looks like your beer kept you company! 😉 good choice!
Very nicely done!
Katie, I’m reading backwards. How the heck did you quilt all those very close straight lines with all those safety pins in the way??? Do you really pull them as you arrive at each pin? Holy.
