#triangle quilt
Last May (2019) I finished up this quilt for some friends our ours who got married. I wanted to make a quilt for them that had the same clean lines and modern feeling as their house and decor.
I made a bunch of HST blocks and arranged in a kind of gradient, mostly greys and neutrals with a few pops of colour in between.
Around that time, I went to a workshop with the Ottawa Modern Quilt Guild, with Johanna Masko on hand quilting.
I brought this quilt along to work on, and added hand quilting to several blocks around the quilt.
I finished it off with straight line quilting (my favourite!) and contrast binding.
I was really happy with how it turned out and the recipients really liked it too!
Quilty Details:
- * 70” square, for a large lap quilt
- * Mix of fabrics, mostly Kona Cotton and prints from Art Gallery Fabrics
- * Backing and binding is a Guicy Guice Quantam print from Andover
- * Straight line quilted at 0.5” spacing, using Wonderfil 40-wt thread, with additional hand quilting using DMC Perle cotton #8 size
I liked how the hand quilting was actually not too visible from afar, but gave a lot of texture when you have it up close, on your lap. I think I’ll try to add more of that hand quilted touch on more projects in the future!
