Equilateral Triangle Quilt 54.5 inches x 64.5 inches |
I have lots of photos of the finished Equilateral Triangle Quilt to share with you today. This quilt was a lot of work and required all of my concentration when cutting and sewing, but it came together surprisingly well. I won't say easy, but the quilt top was nice and flat and most points meet.
I have used more than 200 different printed fabrics to make this quilt, and have alternated the layout with a dark and light triangle. There are 450 triangles with additional half triangles along both sides of the quilt. Much time was spent choosing, cutting, folding, and returning fabric to stash.
I have quilted the quilt with edge to edge straight lines, outlining all of the seam lines by stitching along both sides of those seam lines. As always, I have used a walking foot to quilt such lines, and have used the outer edge of the walking foot as a stitching guide. It is a slow and steady process, although once the foundation lines are in place I do pick up the pace a little.
For the back of the quilt I have used a sweet floral print on a white background (Tiny Floral - Holly Holderman for Lake House Dry Goods). And a signature black and white stripe - this one by Windham Fabrics - for binding.
This quilt was listed for sale in my Etsy Store but has sold prior to publishing
this blog post. It is already making its way to the new owner.

This is so beautiful. It's amazing how 200+ fabrics come together is a very cohesive pattern. Love it!
ReplyDeleteits such a beautiful quilt as always Rita
ReplyDeleteAs predicted, it's beautiful. I'm so glad you chose to go with simple quilting on it. The stitches not only add a clean and simple look to the quilt, but allows the eye to go to the fabric instead of the stitching. The back is beautiful to look at as well. Great work and I'm eager to see more.
ReplyDeleteStunning quilt as ever.
ReplyDeletevery nice, so many lovely fabrics have gone into this, I know it will be well loved.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! And I know it was a lot of work - which is the reason I tend to stick to squares, rectangles, and strips. Much easier to cut, calculate, and sew.
ReplyDeleteI love triangle quilts! I think I'll be making one this year, Lord Willing! haha
