::Baby Lotta::

July 8, 2012 By Katie

After finishing up the top for Roan’s birthday quilt with isosceles triangles, I’m excited to announce that equilaterals are a cinch in comparison! No finicky seams to line up, and there were no problems sewing on the bias. I thought I wouldn’t like the shape as much as the isosceles, but they are cute!

The mix of double gauze, flannel, linen and quilting weight fabrics effortlessly came together. This is good news since I will be teaching this quilt at the Quilting Loft on Thursday, August 9th from 6-9pm.

Instead of making my own template, I went with theΒ Super60 Clearview Triangle. My Mom bought it for me on Mother’s Day atΒ Island Quilter.

There certainly are some goodies from my stash in this quilt. I was happy to see the last of the Lotus Wallflower find a perfect home, as well as some Anna Maria Horner flannel and Chocolate Lollipop. I love the Heather Ross in here, especially the Purple Moons and the Crimson Unicorns. Those I nabbed from scrap packs at Pink Chalk Fabrics. There is a touch of Erin McMorris and Kei Dots in there as well.

At Island Quilter the other night, I found some of the Anna Maria Horner Chocolate Lollipop I had used in the quilt top. Anja has it in all the colors, along with most of the line, but this was my favorite and will go on the back. Can you believe it isn’t Alexander Henry or flannel? I’m really breaking out of my box.

Since I have triangle fever, I started cutting scraps for another triangle quilt last night.

But after coming up with this diamond shape using value I’m off to grab a diamond-shaped template. I’m addicted to this simple shape, and still can’t wait to make this quilt with my Mendocino and another with my Christmas-themed fabrics.

There also has been talk of a star-themed Quilt-A-Long among the Seattle Modern Quilt Guild, so I’ve been pinning to my new Star Pin Board. So many quilts, so little time. Happy Sunday!

    I am LOVING the unicorn fabric, I will have to try and find some. I think a triangle shape would be just what I need to break me out of my I-don’t-want-to-cut-a-whole-quilt rut. Great inspiration!

    The baby quilt is so pretty – love how you mixed all the different kinds of fabric. I think the triangle fever is quite infectious, in a good way. I do have my eye on the Mendocino precious QAL, too. Some fabric just hurts a bit to cut into. Diamonds sounds real good, too. Like you say, so many quilts, so little time…

    There ARE too many quilts to make! Love these triangle quilts and the diamond shapes too ~ I need to get myself inspired and make one or two.

    Katie, this is gorgeous! I love the colour combination. I would never have thought of combining the different types of fabrics. How do they act when they are washed? Do they shrink differentially?

    • Sew Katie Did says

      I always prewash. I’m sure the shrinking would only add character!

      • Dani says

        Ah yes, the magical prewashing. I should try that sometime! πŸ˜‰

    This quilt is SO cute! You have given me the itch to pull out my yet-to-be-used triangle ruler. I may have to go dig through my stash right now!

    Katie, I saw this quilt at the shop today, it’s B E A U tiful! It tried to jump in my bag on my way out, it was a big fight to keep it from getting in πŸ˜‰

      Thanks Jeanell. It’s so fun to see all those lovely fabrics come together.

    really lovely! that color combo is perfect, and I’m totally into the triangles! In fact, I bought one of those triangle templates a couple weeks ago, and haven’t yet taken it out of the package… but now i’m totally motivated to pull out some fabrics and start cutting for a triangle quilt of my own!

    • Sew Katie Did says

      July 11, 2012 at 2:51 pm

      I don’t know what it is about the triangles, but I want to do everything with them. I even started raiding my scrap box for little bitty ones with white in between. Seriously Addicting.

    Hi! I LOVE the Heather Ross unicorn fabric that you used in the Lotta baby quilt. I am having a VERY difficult time finding some to buy online for my unicorn-loving 3 year old who I’ve been wanting to make a quilt for. Do you have extra fabric leftover that I could buy from you? Thanks!

    This is so pretty and sweet!
