Happy National Quilting Day everyone!
In honor of National Quilting Day and as part of last nights Friday Night Sew In, I decided to play with the triangular log cabin block I saw at a quilt show last month and see if it was worth trying as a whole quilt.
I searched the web for a pattern and when I couldn't find one I drafted my own. I decided the easiest way was to paper piece and I was right. It was super easy!
Here's how my little tester came out!
It's only about 12 inches across, just perfect for our little end table. I used scraps and can't find any piece of blue left that was big enough to do the binding, so that will have to come later.
While I didn't find a pattern while cruising the Internet, I did find another blogger, Karen at Badlands Quilts, who made beautiful placemats out of Kaffe Fassett fabrics using this pattern . I recommend you check hers out here.
The conclusion of my experiment...
I think a full sized quilt out of these triangular log cabins is certainly in my future!
Very pretty. I think it will make a great full sized quilt.
ReplyDeleteWow, your little tester turned out very well. Good for you for coming up with your own pattern, too.
