Colorful and modern describes
today's quilt. Splashy prints of pink, aqua, and orange are accented
with touches of lime and yellow. Constructed entirely of equilateral
triangles, their arrangement creates larger triangular shapes
in alternating directions. It's busy, bright and fun to sew.
Perfect points were possible
thanks to precision cuts with the Accuquilt die. I cut extra
triangles and stitched a row of them to set between two pieces of
paisley fabric for an interesting backing. Coordinating striped
binding adds flair. I quilted double rows on the horizontal seams
in bright pink thread. Equilateral's final 44” x 46” size
is good for display or snuggling.
As I worked on balancing the color layout on my design wall, several alternate ideas and combinations came to mind, so you may see more triangles in the future.
Useful Notion: Scrap pieces from this project came in handy last week. This little quilted zipper bag didn't take long to sew and made a cute birthday gift for J's sister.
