Triangles Within Triangles Quilt

Last year I made a quilt/wall hanging using triangles and really enjoyed the process as well as playing around with colour combinations.  This time I have been bolder with the choice of colours as well as creating a much larger quilt, one that can be used as a quilt topper, a large wall hanging or even as a luxury picnic mat.

The back of the quilt has been pieced to match the three bold colours on the front.  There is a small border using a combination of the three solid colours, blue, maroon and red.  Rather than having a traditional binding I have added what I term a 'magic' binding or a facing so that the binding isn't visible on the front of the quilt.  I matched the binding to the colours on the back of the quilt so that the binding blends into the backing fabric. 

I pieced the patchwork using my trusty domestic machine and due to the size of the quilt it has been quilted by a longarm quilting specialist, Cath Brough of Cumbrian Longarm Quilting.  I chose a Dominoes quilting design by Karlee Porter (see the last photo which shows the quilting design) and Cath very cleverly matched the colour of the thread to the three sections of the quilt.  The binding was machine stitched and finished off by hand.

All the fabric used is 100% cotton and between the layers is 100% cotton wadding.  Aurifil 100% cotton thread was used to both piece the patchwork and to quilt as well.

The approximate measurements of the quilt are:  W64" x L76" or W162 cms x L193 cms.  This is the size of a double topper.  The quilt is machine washable on a gentle setting.

If you would like a hanging sleeve added to the back just send me a message and I will add one at no extra charge.
