I made this Triangle Quilt several years ago from a pattern in an Australian magazine.......love triangles (these are 1.25") and that Civil War line from Judie Rothermel, "Bits of Blue and Grey"! Took forever to handquilt but am enjoying it on my living room wall. Had to take it down to pin up the Medallion quilt top that I'm showing next.....only place in my house I could think of to do it! Putting pins in plaster walls is a challenge .........the wallpaper is as far as the pin will go!
My husband went to Fryeburg Fair today so I had time to myself this evening.....anytime I don't have to cook a meal is a Holiday for me!!
Hope you think I put the time to good use!!!
Oh, yes, time well spent! They are both great. I love triangles, too, and the fabrics are so pretty in this one. The medallion is a fun way to work, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays! I'd say you definitely enjoyed your free time. Both quilts are wonderful. Medallion quilts are a great way to feature a toile.
ReplyDeleteI so in love with that Triangle Quilt! It's gorgeous!
ReplyDeletethe first quilt I remember when that line came out and the pattern
ReplyDeleteI should have bought it
just love that quilt!
oh your medallion is wonderful I have to get that book out and have a look
hmmmm I may have a piece of toile to use in the center!
if not I will be in touch for a yard of that one
love that is black!
Both beautiful quilts. I can see why you want the medallion in early repros prints for a bedroom. Love medallions and love the early period repros. Well done. So nice when you have some time to work on your projects! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you -- the center medallion needs to be bigger in scale for a bed size quilt. Love your triangle quilt.
