Hi & Deciding on what new project to make! Triangle quilt?
Hello! Just dropping in to send my best and say hello. It's been a couple weeks since I finished the baby quilt and now I'm itching to start a new project. I think I'll check out the gallery for inspiration. My daughter really wants a triangle quilt but it sounds difficult and frustrating with all those bias edges and matching! Has anyone done one of those and if so, how? Paper piecing, or is there a template/ruler,tute somewhere?
I'm also biting the bullet and giving away another quilt. The sister of the baby-quilt recipient says I 'owe' her 4 quilts (she has 4 children from BEFORE I started quilting! and she's just kidding, lol!) and admired my 16-patch when I made it (I double-checked it was the one she had commented on on Facebook). I used 4 little off-cuts of practice quilting, over-cast the edges, and am going to give them to her at the shower (saying, "here are 4 quilts...you never said what size they had to be!")...but then, in private after the shower, give her the 'real' quilt. As much as I like it, I have too many on the back of my chair and I know I could make it again if I wanted to. There are going to be so many more quilts to come and I'm pretty sure she would appreciate the gift.
I also made my niece a card for the shower and quilted a wee tiny piece of the actual fabric I used in her quilt to have draping over the baby carriage on the card! It's like a sneak peek at her gift!
