I made a decision on the green triangles quilt. This layout is 9 across by 10 down, too close to square so I think it will get a strip of the white dotted fabric at the top and bottom to increase the length. I will cut the last 6 dotted triangles today. Now I need to take down triangles and sew them into squares and then into rows and a top.
I have 32 green 6 inch finished triangles left over. They will join all of the leftover blue and pink triangles in the project box.
I got two packages yesterday. The first one is the August 2025 Kaffe collective fabrics. You can see I bought mostly ones that read as one color. I don't need any more of the multicolor prints (which are hard to use). I thought about cutting 2 triangles from the fish fabric to put in my current project, but with 32 leftovers already, I decided not to.
The second package was from Patty A at Patty, the quilt lady blog. I want to try to make these and had the fabric for the one on the left already quilted and ready to cut, but I never got around to making it. You can read more on her blog.
I'm hand basting this 40" x 60" quilt to prepare for the quilting and I'm halfway there.
It was 47 yesterday morning and only got up to 65 degrees. Today may be a little cooler. I'm enjoying this weather after our hot summer.
I like that layout. Your nearly finished quilt is pretty. I would enjoy that weather too! We have one more day of 90s then our cold front comes in tonight for a few days of relief.
ReplyDeleteThe dotted fabric adds the right amount of zing to that zig zag quilt! The Kaffe fabric is pretty! I do like that fish fabric! I am enjoying the cooler weather too.
ReplyDeleteLove that Zig-Zag layout--such a neat contrast...;)))
ReplyDelete72 here at 8:30 am--a bit more humid this morning.
Pretty array of new KF fabrics you've received--they will be fun to work with...Hugs, Julierose
Oh, I love that fish fabric! It’s a wonderful you were able to resist using ;-) Love the bags from Patty and she does such a lovely job on them.
ReplyDeleteYour marvelous zig-zag layout is delightful and looks almost 3-D in some places!
ReplyDeleteToday and tomorrow will be 91*F but Monday and following days will be back to the upper 70s*F. Sweet!
Hugs!
What a fun inspiring post today Wanda~ love your decision to use your zig~zag layout, new fabrics, and Patty’s clutch bags and getting ready for quilting with basting all laid out with such precision. Made my day.🤗
ReplyDeleteI love the movement of your green triangle quilt. Your 40" x 60" quilt is so colorful with its contrasting blocks squares. Thankfully, our heat wave has passed - we'll be in the high 80s today.
ReplyDeleteI love the green zig zag quilt. Such great colors!
ReplyDeletethe dotted fabric sure changed the look of that quilt! love all the fabric you show. I wish it was a little cooler here as well but it is humid and although in the 70's today I believe it will be back in the 80's for most of next week.
ReplyDeleteI really like this plan for the green triangles! Your ideas are always better than mine.
