I decided it was time to make a decision on the setting triangles for the Hunter Star fish quilt. This multi-color streaky batik was my favorite when I showed several choices. I decided to get brave and cut the squares and cut them twice diagonally and that would give me the streaks the long way for top and bottom triangles and the short way for the side triangles. I still need to cut the corner triangles.
I decided to get a start on sewing last night so I sewed the first three rows together. I'll do a few rows a day and hopefully have it done by the last day of the month.
I like the effect of the setting triangles - looks like the fish are swimming in water with the suns reflections. Hope you've had the rain you wanted - been wet here most days the past week :)
That was my favorite piece when you were 'auditioning' several pieces on Saturday August 15th for this grand, fun happy quilt top. Perfect combination for those fishes !

What a great effect the fabric makes on the whole quilt! Almost like the quilt is melting, or showing movement.
ReplyDeleteGood choice of fabric for the triangles. The fish are swimming.
ReplyDeleteGood choice! I think I have that batik, too.
ReplyDeleteThat streaky fabric looks great! It picks up the colors in fish and I can imagine with a darker binding that fabric will frame the fish beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThose setting triangles make all the difference - LOVELY!!
ReplyDeleteI like it!
