This is an equilateral 60 degree triangle - easy to make up your own template or use an acrylic ruler.
Why you're cutting - why not do a few sets - one for you, a friend and a donation quilt?
This could be called a charm quilt - one shape repeated over and over - but I quit before I got to 1,000 pieces. This is a nice lap sized quilt.
The border purple paisleys are chasing each other around the edge...no mitering.
It is machine pieced and machine quilted.
The backing is flannel - the machine stitches bury nicely and the quilt is really warm!
I also used a medium/light binding - I usually go dark or a stripe. Glad I tried something else!
I tried not to duplicate fabrics - but I see I did - oh well, that's what happens in the scrap basket.
Why was I wanting to use up some of my stash - when I look at some of these I wish I had more yardage now!
This one was great fun - I have been looking forward to it.
Changed a few things here and there...looking forward to starting the borders. Remind me later I said that!
The rest of my blocks are in my Flickr Album.
Thank you to everyone who dropped by and left a comment on the Triangle Strippy Quilt.
It was fun 'meeting' the people reading the blog - I always wonder...who are they?
...and now I've heard from a few of you! Great FUN.
Your ideas are wonderful and very inspiring for future projects.
The winner of the triangle give away.......Drum Roll......

Congratulations - Heidi at Between Stitches.
"...not a matching kind of girl, I like random! I may repeat a fabric if it's a small piece, but you'll really have to look for it to find it. As for the strips and their color, I normally don't plan ahead for such things, I just design as I go along and let the quilt tell me what it needs."
Please contact me at cwaneedle@gmail.com with your snail mail address and I'll get these posted so you can start a new project!
Have a fabulous week.
Oh my goodness! Your cherry tree block is awesome!! You inspired me to get back to mine, as it is partially done.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is fantastic. I have a hard time matching up triangles for piecing. I love how you shared the piecing trick on the strippy triangle quilt.

Love all of your scraps in the triangle quilt. I feel the same as you, always wishing I had more of a long time scrap to use in current projects. But new to us fabric is fun to buy, too.
ReplyDeleteI have never done a 60 degree triangle quilt. They are too scary for me!! I don't know why...maybe it's all the bias edges. Your's came out fabulous!
