This was supposed to be a very simple project so I can’t explain why I made several errors …. Maybe because I just started cutting without calculating yardage or paying attention to my drawing …
I bought the 6 inch finished triangle in a square die several months back. There are several variations on this quilt layout using novelty squares or 4 patch or 9 patches. The one I most want to make is the 9 patch version but I needed a quick project so decided I’d use the novelty squares.
I ended up with a smaller version than my drawing because of my failure to calculate the number of blocks and the amount of fabric needed. At any rate, it’s ready to assemble.
Now I just have to figure out how to use the blocks that were cut wrong … blue vs white triangles … in a doll quilt so they aren’t wasted.
Both quilts are adorable! But I feel your pain!
Whoops! At least you will get a fun doll quilt out of your errors, Mary. Happy sewing!
Been there as well. But the quilt you ended up with is quite nice!
You have 8 blue ‘sort of triangles’, can you put a bird fabric in the center of the blues to use the blue’s that way, rather than laying them in a row as you have done. Just a small thought. Anne
I love this quilt. Looks great. What a neat pattern!
That’s a fun design! You just keep providing inspiration for new projects.
You ended up with really pretty quilt.
