Whew. This quilt felt like it took forever -- although if I think about it, I realize I just started it Sunday!
Getting a photo of this quilt was almost as hard as finishing it by my deadline. It's Spring in Colorado, so that means wind. My quilt-holders are almost too short! Maybe I need to invest in a quilt display frame.
"Pyramid Triangles," by Pam and Nicky Lintott takes just one Jelly Roll and finishes at 78 by 93 inches, a good Full size quilt. Pam and Nicky said this quilt was inspired by one of their favorite antique quilts. Wouldn't it look great in 30s reproduction fabrics? I used one of my cherished jelly rolls, "Strawberry Fields," by Figtree Quilts for Moda. I got mine at my bestest etsy shop, freshsqueezedfabrics. Several people voted for red as the sashing, but I was under a deadline, so I used the yellow that I had in my collection.
I used a few scraps from "Celebrate Spring" by Sandy Gervais, because I also used "Strawberry Fields" for this quilt in February:
"Pyramid Triangles" doesn't have an owner yet, but you know -- the right person always comes along! Too bad the next 12-year-old great niece wants pink and brown, because I think either of these would be great "girly" quilts!
Got my first pedicure of the season yesterday. DH likes the "Hello Kitty" slippers:
Tomorrow is Fat Quarter Fun at Ruth's Stitchery. And then it's time to start packing for my road trip to Ohio for the International Quilt Festival Cincinnati!

Well Done - that was pretty quick! It looks great - I'm sure a new owner will pop up somewhere!

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful top! 52 quilts in 52 weeks is an amazing goal, great job! (I like the Hello Kitty slippers, too!)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job...love the fabric!
ReplyDeleteWOW! How I wish I could sew that fast and that good,too.
ReplyDeleteHave fun in Ohio! I went to college in Delaware, OH and I miss the area so much but especially in the spring time. Maybe you will get lucky and see some blooming magnolia trees. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the finish, Marti! That was quick, although it probably doesn't feel like it! Safe travels and have fun!
ReplyDeleteNice quilt!! and super cute slippers :)
ReplyDeleteThe sashing makes the quilt quiet and still springy....
