This is what’s on my design wall, after I finished piecing this medallion top from the triangle exchange I participated in last year.
Here is the top, waiting for its turn on the quilter. I think I may consider making this quilt again someday; but if I do, I’ll want to use neutral fabrics that read as solids as the light fabric in the triangle squares so the pattern is more visible. This is the first quilt I have made with mitered borders. It is small, about 57 inches before quilting. I think I may name it “Just Do It” since I debated a very long time about whether or not to attempt it. The design is by Edyta Sitar in her book Friendship Triangles.
I really pushed this weekend to complete this flimsy so it wouldn't be a distraction as begin work on the latest installment of the Civil War Chronicles quilt, which we received last week.
Be sure to check out other design walls at Patchwork Times.
It looks great! You should send a picture to Edyta.
ReplyDeleteThis was my first mitered border quilt too!! I went to the lqs and had some tips on how to do it and I love my quilt. I am not sure how to quilt it, it is in line for finishing. What are you planning for your quilting? I am thinking something like a leaf/vines/ribbons. Not sure because the triangle are so small....
