I have lots of projects. I have a whole notebook of them that I track. First, an older one- finally quilted this week. I have to add the binding I made yesterday and then I can post the whole quilt.
I have a new project. Maureen sent me a bag of triangle and pieces of Tilda fabric- I had never heard of it, but, oh my, I really like it. I found a Missouri Star Quilt Company pattern called Kindred Pinwheels and I thought it was perfect for these triangles. I adapted and used the whole size of the triangles. I am using off white on white background pieces to keep the softness of the colors in the fabrics. The darker colors are in sets of 4 and the lighter ones are another 4. I have to cut a lot of triangles and 2 1/2 x 7" strips to sew all the triangles Maureen sent. I think instead of laying out a block at a time, I am going to sew all the dark triangles to white, then all the white strips to the light triangles and then lay out the blocks. It might save time and effort.
Those fabrics are lovely and make some pretty blocks. It will be fun to watch this one come together.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jeanna - it will be fun to watch this one come together - ;))
ReplyDeleteThe block you are making is one of my favorites. I have been resisting the Tilda fabric. I have one half yard that I ordered to reach free shipping on one site. She has a unique style.
ReplyDeleteMaureen is wonderful, isn't she! The way you've decided to use the triangles is perfect.
ReplyDeleteThose blocks look lovely. I am sure the quilt will be delightful.
ReplyDeleteYay for moving a quilt along!
ReplyDeleteand those kindred pinwheel blocks are going to be so cool!
Oh my word - I missed such a lot of posts with all the goings on at my place so I missed the Pinwheels, they're looking great.
