umm, where were we? ah yes, the pillow. We had an inlet of 30 x 60 cm, for which the layout was designed. For my first triangles the points match quite well despite the minimal squaring up(Didn't thought about it beforehand *blush*). The cover got a snuggly, orange nicky for the back as well as an envelope closure. The edges where finished with some Amy Butler dots.
Hubby loves it and defends it well :) But oh the shame, I totally forgot to quilt it as planned (nobody cares but me). Now I know why it was somehow finished faster than expected.
Hey there.. new visitor here.. just blog hopping. :)
ReplyDeleteWant to say that I love your pillow! Ive seen this pattern a lot lately on flickr pics, do you make this just putting together HST of each color?
Right, you sew together one triangle each of your color group (or value group if you would more focusing on values). I arranged my triangles first until I settled on my layout. But it will work as well to arrange the blocks later.
ReplyDeleteThe blocks have to be handled and pressed carefully because the tend to distorted a bit easier than usually. Check each block after pressing the seams if it is still square. Afterwards it is just sewing blocks to rows and so on.
