I pressed all the fabrics, trimmed them, and cut them into a 2.5 inch strip and a 6 inch strip

and the triangles got sewn into strips and the strips got sewn onto a fleece blanket, and this is what I have
I now have a shopping list for some more Oakshott for a border, and I have the 2.5inch strips to join to make a scrappy binding
I wanted to blitz through this one as I know I don't like HSTs and I wasn't sure that triangles would be much better, but I knew I wanted to use this fabric as triangles - I was worried that if I put it to one side I may never come back to it.
The verdict? I LOVE the top because of the colours, I'm really pleased that I went with triangles, although I know that plenty of points don't match (darned bias edges) and I strongly suspect there wont be many more triangle quilts in my future!
really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBrave on so many counts Benta, I would still be drooling over them :)
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love how it shimmers?
ReplyDeletelove the colors and the triangles; bravo
ReplyDeleteGood call there Benta! I'm sure May is delighted you have pounced on this so quickly and don't worry the colours are so gorgeous no-one is looking at the pointy bits!
ReplyDeleteWell yes, May is delighted and she had this small inkling you might like the colours from all the fondling the fabrics got :-) Your quilt is gorgeous and who cares about some smaller mishaps?
ReplyDeleteLove the fabrics and love what you've done too.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! Triangles are perfect for those wonderful colours :)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Benta! Those fabrics look wonderful and your triangle quilt is perfect way to use them! x Teje
ReplyDeleteLove it! It almost twinkles.
