In The Hoop: Triangle Stars

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?

I 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!
Can'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!

At 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)

Oh 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.:)

How frustrating - and how familiar to me! I'm kind of glad though that this quilt has managed to jump the queue as a result.
