Triangle Quilt Completed!
I started a triangle quilt on Quiltcation 2014 (Cape Cod vacation in August accompanied by sewing machines).
I decided to just cut the fabric with a regular ruler but I think it would have been easier to buy a triangle ruler with a blunt point. When I started sewing them together, it took me a bit to figure out how to line them up and my seam allowance had to be larger than normal to make it work. Sometimes quilting still baffles me.
I got some good progress while sewing with my friend, Leslie, in our cabin. Don't worry, we enjoyed the ocean and bike rides, too!
Back at home on the design wall. I cut so many triangles that I have enough to make another small throw. I should actually do that but I am not terribly motivated to make a second quilt that is exactly the same.
I got this crazy idea to quilt waves 1/2" apart after seeing some really nice wavy quilting on another blog. At first I tried to keep the waves really precise and uniform but it just wasn't happening and was time consuming so I started to intentionally vary some of the spacing between the waves. The quilting felt like it took a long time.
It sat completed for a while but unbound because in the fall, I switched into knitting mode.
It was finally completed at Christmas and then I had to wait for some decent weather to get an FO photo. I love how it turned out! Perfectly cheerful!
