Triangle Stars is now in the hoop.
If I remember correctly this one is 54 x 72.
I was going to start hand quilting my BIG Dresden quilt but when I got everything all laid out I found my pieced backing was about 2 inches too small. DARN! The backing and batting I had pieced together for this one was just right. So I'm now hand quilting this one. I always have to have something in the hoop or I fall asleep right after dinner. I try to hand quilt the larger quilts in winter and the smaller ones (if any) in summer since I don't have air conditioning.
I like the black and white against the colors. What thread do you use for hand quilting?
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see this one finished - it has been one of my favorites of yours!
ReplyDeleteI was just cutting triangles for my Triangle Star yesterday, for the first time in a long time. You must have been sending me triangle vibes!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your quilt - this pattern is still one of my favorites!
I always enjoyed seeing these blocks as you made them last year. It will be a beautiful, scrappy finish!
ReplyDeleteAt the risk of showing my ignorance, where in the world do you manage to live without air conditioning????? Oh. My. Word! (lynnstck[at]yahoo.com)
ReplyDeleteOh I just hate that! Sometimes when I make a measuring mistake like that, I wonder how I can ever manage to get a quilt top together.:)
ReplyDeleteHow frustrating - and how familiar to me! I'm kind of glad though that this quilt has managed to jump the queue as a result.
