This small lap quilt or wall hanging has been deemed completed and can no longer stay in UFO Land. It must find another home! With a center of half square triangles and purple borders it was machine quilted using a variegated purple thread from Coats and Clark 100% mercerized cotton, Size 50. The fabrics used are all 100% cotton commercially printed from a variety of manufacturers and designers. You may recognize some of them. I especially like the outside border and the striped bias edging. I think I will call it Purple Pansy Quilt.
In an earlier post I was playing with a variety of layouts, auditioning them for this quilt and this is where the triangles landed!
So I have lots of half square triangles now and am playing! Just thought that you might like to see what I have been up to with them. Here are a few pictures of layouts that being contemplated for you to look at. Enjoy! I don't know if I will actually use these layouts but it is fun rearranging the pieces. I take photos of each layout so that I can compare each layout to see which one or ones that I like best. None of these fabrics are from my own dyed stash, all are purchased fabrics and you may recognise some of them as they are from a years old collection. I am attempting to minimize my stash somewhat! Ha. Then I can proceed on to my own hand dyed fabric collection. I am imposing this upon myself as a goal to the treat ahead.
