It's a flimsy!
Triangle Tiles
82 x 92
This is a quilt inspired by a c. 1940-1950 quilt made by Stella Freeman Gillion in the collection of her grandson, Alan Childress.
I don't usually add borders but wanted to stay close to the original inspiration. And with the in mind I will probably hand quilt Baptist Fans.

I love this! It's amazing what a big impact a simple HST can have, isn't it? Absolutely gorgeous!
Wow, this is a beautiful finish! Funny how things circle back to you. I went to elementary school with Alan and lost touch after all our moving around. His grandmother must have been quite the woman if she inspired this gorgeous quilt.
Fantastic! I like what you did with the block corners.
It truly is beautiful; you did a great job! ---"Love"
What a great pattern for your half square triangles I love the color combination. The borders are a perfect finish. Have fun quilting it.
That is stunning! And that blue border sets off the colorful blocks really well. Happy New Year!
I usually remember blocks you are making and squirreling away, but not these ones. Interestingly my maiden name was Freeman! Yes, I think this flimsy needs a border, perhaps a more "busy" fabric? No doubt you have several fabrics you are auditioning.
Loving your 'triangle tiles' quilt top! Very scrappy & bright. I must get back to mine this year too!
Omigosh - you knocked this one totally out of the park. It is fabulous!!!
What !! you have your first quilt top done..... it is going to be a good good year.
It’s a gorgeous top - that’s a lotta triangles! I love my Quilt Folk subscription -
Omigosh, this is BEAUTIFUL!! WTG!
Thank you, thank you. I am using this pattern for my Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2019. I'll start just as soon as the kids leave for Oregon.

That's a lot of HST's--love it!!
Wow! You are off to a great start for the new year! And if I counted correctly, you have 38 finishes for 2018! You must be in the Guinness Book of World Records!
That's a lot of half square triangles. I love all the scrappy goodness.
Oh Cathy, I love this quilt! There's just something about repetition perfectly balanced with scrappiness that melts me. What a great finish.:)
Such a fun and happy scrap quilt. Baptist Fans will look great on it. Congrats on your first top of 2019.
Oh I LOVE it!!! So beautiful!!
Wow, it’s just beautiful! All those HSTs require so much trimming, but the look is rhythmic and stunning!
Oh wow this is gorgeous! I've really been drawn to HSTs lately.
