Triangles, lots of triangles

I love triangles and sometimes I have patience with them and sometimes not. I started a series of the Lady of the Lake quilts but am stuck after 2. This one "Lady of the Garden" from a Jean Wells book was started with a class I taught. I didn't make it as big as the one in the book because I just didn't want to make any more blocks. Here is a close up of some of the floral and green fabrics used.
This fall colored one is actually the one I started with. I liked it so well that I decided to do one for each season, and hopefully I would find a place in my house to have them hanging and change them with the seasons. I made all of the blocks and found the border fabric afterwards.
More closeups of fabrics used.
I love this area in the quilt.
I am into day 2 of working 3 days at the sewing machine store in town while they have their booth at a sewing expo. Yesterday was a long one working all day and teaching at night. I really slept well last night! Our temperature went down to 34 by morning and my son said they had a brief rain/sleet event this morning 4 miles from where I live. I guess winter is coming whether we want it or not.

    WOW I like both of those. I have often thought about doing one, but I know my patience for the triangles would be limited to about 1 block...

    I am going ot do a floral quilt though - using up the end of those in my stash. It will be a "simple rectangles" quilt. They are all cut out, i just have to count them & maybe gut more greens & dig around for florals that are mixed in with my reds, pinks, etc.

    Both of those quilts are beautiful! You really have "value" nailed. Do you foundation piece triangles or individually piece them?

    I made this pattern! It was my first 'follow the pattern' quilt. Mine doesn't look nearly as good as yours tho.
