Ombre Triangles


My daughters best friend is marring my daughters husbands twin brother.  (Did you follow that?)


So, of course, I HAD to make her a quilt!


Jazmin's favorite color is purple :)


I have had this cut of fabric for a few years.  It is a single piece with all 6 shades of purple printed on it.  I used a 60 degree triangle ruler to cut out the triangles.  I LOVE sewing with them.  They behave just like squares, pretty much ;)


As per tradition, I had to add in some special words in the quilting just for them.


Jazmin also loves turquoise with her lovely lavenders.


It is such a happy quilt for the lovebirds!


For the backing I used some wild and AWESOME fabric from April's 1970 basement stash!


Here are some pictures of the creation process...

  7. Beautiful! I'm making a triangle quilt now, but it's not equilateral since I don't have that size template. That size template is now on my list!
