Tuesday Triangle Aug. 28

Hello and welcome!
And so my day job begins! Busy times ahead. So just enough time to share with you a triangle in the style of Jane Stickle, finishing at 5 by 8 inches.

This is from the top row of the quilt as it is usually shown, 10th from the left.  Hmm, leaning a bit to the left on the top, hope this won't be a  problem later!

Please see dearjane.com for more explanation of the 1863 quilt I am slowly reproducing in blue and white.

Tuesday triangle: Aug. 21

Hello and welcome to my weekly post!  At least I try to have a new entry weekly.

Today I have a Dear Jane triangle to share, one that I appliqued a while ago. When you are following the work of Jane Stickle, those 4.5 inch blocks and those triangles. you have to think long term, and be happy with the little finishes along the way.

These triangles finish at 5 by 8 inches.  There IS a sense of accomplishment after appliqueing.

This triangle appears on the right side of the Jane Stickle quilt, as it is usually shown, and is known as Love forever.  The pencil line is where I will eventually trim - I cut my background fabric a little large in case of fraying.

Tuesday Triangle Aug. 14

Hello and welcome to my weekly post!  At least I try to have a new entry weekly.
Today I have a Dear Jane triangle to share, one that I appliqued a while ago.  These triangles finish at 5 by 8 inches.

This triangle appears on the right side of the Jane Stickle quilt, as it is usually shown, and is known as Fedelia's hearts. 

Appliquing that little heart on the top was tough!  The background is cut extra large - the pencil line is where I am going to trim, when I get ready to assemble the border.  When will that be?  Not for a while, I think!

Quilt #4: Chinese coins

Hello and welcome!
This is an on going story, almost done, of me using up a pile of 2 inch fabric strips that I had cut for a previous project.

The challenge: use them up, and estimate how many quilt tops I could make from them.

Previous entries on this blog have shown crayon box quilts made from these strips.  And a Weed Whacker quilt top.  (All patterns from Bonnie Hunter.)  And two doll quilts.

Well this is quilt top #4:

A strip quilt, a pattern I know as Chinese Coins.  I bought fabric for this one, so that I would not have to piece the white fabric.  It will end up about 65 by 80 inches.  I may quilt this one myself on my domestic sewing machine.

I still have a small amount of strips left!  But, I am tired of looking at these fabrics, and there isn't enough for a full sized quilt, maybe just a doll quilt or two.  Enough!
