Back in March I started designing a quilt while I watched TV. It will have four different size triangles in it. I designed a second quilt too which I will show in a few days.
This will be made in rounds rather than rows so here is the center section.
Then I made two side sections and sewed them on. So far this is 2" and 3" finished size triangles.
Then I made four sections with 4" finished triangles.
I sewed them on last night and then chose the triangles for the last row top and bottom of 4" triangles. Next will be 6" finished triangles which I put up on the left to see how they will look. These are all batiks, scraps that I cut into triangles with my die cutter and then store them in a box until I come up with an idea for them.
I have used my die cutter for "scrap busting" and made lots of triangles. I was doing some cleaning this past weekend and found them stored. Some are sewn and some are not sewn. I need to plan a project with them.
This is so great!! Love all the triangles. Designing something with so many sizes and getting them to meet is hard for math challenged me. I think the colors and sizes are so great. Love the center is not square, but rectangular. Just so gorgeous!!
I love this quilt....however the fabric with the checks bothers me a little bit. It draws my eye. You know I am no expert on fabric colors and designs so I will see how this works out.
This is going to be an awesome quilt!! I love half square triangles...using the different sizes creates a great look! Cannot wait to see it all finished! Sandra B scb304@juno.com
I would love to try something like this - I too have thought about using the half-square triangle in different sizes. Love it. And your fabrics are always so lovely - you truly do inspire me, and I send everyone I know to your website or blog. Beth
In one of those optical illusion things our eye sometimes does, each new size section appears to add a new level of depth to the project. Look forward to seeing this one done.
I love this! I've been toying with a similar idea, but with only two sizes of triangles.
ReplyDeleteWhat is your planned size for this quilt?
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me a little of a project I'm working on, but it's all paper pieced. So, I'm really interested to watch your progress!
ReplyDeleteI like it! Too few people play with size as a design element, I think. But you do!

Great design...I love the mix of sizes.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing the progress from 'idea' on paper to idea on the wall.

ReplyDeletelooks so good - I was just working on some tiny half square triangles for a special project this weekendn
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting quilt! You sure are using up your scraps!

Oh, I can't wait to see this one. I never would have thought about this idea.
ReplyDeleteYour process is great. I have a friend who draws out patterns and she, like you, comes up with great designs. I know this one will be another winner.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful use of scraps! Terrific design idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea and a lovely use of your scraps. I have so many HST’s that I may borrow this idea! I love your blog so much!
ReplyDeleteTwo more cool quilts! I really like those different sized triangles! Every quilt you make is inspiring!!
ReplyDeleteI wish you just had a LIKE button that I could hit for every quilt!
