It looks just like yesterday's photo but this is the sewn top. Right now it is 60" x 72" which falls into the size quilts I prefer to make now. If I add borders (to please someone who would like a larger quilt) it will be in the size range that I no longer want to do the quilting on. I have the fabric that would work for a border, I just don't know that I want to push myself to do it. This will hang on the design wall for a few days.
Meanwhile I was putting the leftover triangles back in the project box.....and surprise!....there are way more green triangles in there than I remembered (I counted 108). The leftover blues are mostly pairs, not enough for pinwheels. There are a few pink ones hiding under the blue ones too. Maybe I should add purple to the mix and make a zigzag quilt.

That's the size I like to make, too. Plus the group that sews for chemo and dialysis clinics requires that size. I think a throw quilt is so much more usable.
A zig-zag quilt would be so pretty--and you already have all those
triangles cut, too!!:)))
Finally raining here; cold front coming through with a bit of thunder even...haven't heard that all summer long. I put the panel for a rest as I am stuck over that "layering" bit; seems a shame to "cover up" lovely fabrics--different mind set I guess...my hands need a rest at any rate...
hugs, Julierose;)))
Your blues look even better all sewn together. I like those greens in your leftover box!
Sounds like that box of triangles was speaking to you! I made a zig zag quilt of pinks and neutrals, inspired by your green zig zag. Have a second one that I need to sew together. I would love to see your process of taking them from the design wall to sewing them together. I am sure you have developed an easy method. Mine seems so tedious! (Do you listen to music as you work?)
The blue pinwheel quilt top looks great! Besides being used as a huge couch quilt, it would work for a twin IKEA bed. They're nice and low, so a 10-inch drop on the sides looks good! :)
