At the end of summer (yes, it is...) I've finished another triangle quilt.
This time in thrifted vintage linens. My summer meadow finished up at 50" by 60". It's very soft with it's vintage linen backing and hobbs thermore thin polyester batting. Another one hand quilted in perle cotton. I know, I am repeating myself. This is my sixth triangle quilt of this summer, only leaving the seventh top to be finished up. So, I am calling it a series. A study of the potential of simple triangle quilts.
Busy front, quiet back showing off the diamond quilting grid.
Really brightens up the table. Love the texture of the quilting in the soft morning light. Not easy to capture on camera.
In size I was aiming for a cover up for this bench. It's an open sided storage unit on wheels for my sewing machines. A special order gift from my brother. Made as a tv and stereo bench many years ago. Now it makes our dining room look a bit more as a dining room and a little less as a sewing room. At least until I put that last sewing machine back on top....
; )
Making the most out of the space you've got. I think most of us can relate to that.
Wish you all a great end of summer weekend. Even better wish the lucky ones a great start of summer weekend!

another beautiful quilt!
I love all your triangle quilts!
Making the most out of space and of fabrics, that’s what quilters do, don‘t they?
I finally ordered a triangle template, so no more excuses to postpone making a triangle quilt!
Very pretty! Looks so soft and inviting!
I moved my sewing area to a nook in my bedroom this summer and am finding that I really am enjoying it. My husband doesn't seem to mind the mess too much and no one but us sees it much anyway! I love your quilt, of course, Marit!
Such a pretty quilt, lovely colors.
Nydelig!!! Fantastisk flott arbeid og fargevalg. Goé helg.
I've enjoyed your summer series so much! It is great to see how many variations you can make with a simple pattern. Everyone one, I've thought, "that's my favorite, no that one." They're all so pretty, I could never choose.
Ahh, this one is very pretty, too. Love how you grouped the triangles together to make one big pattern.
I'm sooo impressed by your triangle quilts...everyone of them. Have a nice weekend!
I am so crazy about your triangle quilts. You have just the right touch for color and placement!
I've been sorting through my Kaffe Fassett fabrics with a plan to do a triangle quilt completely inspired by you! Each and every quilt of yours is a beauty! Thanks for sharing your design and building steps!
I love all your diamond quilts. I bought this ruler this summer and can't wait to start the quilt from scraps.
There are all awesome, but this one stands out and really reminds me of summer! Thanks for all of the inspiration.
Add yellow, and it's a hit with me! Lovely quilt and it's refreshing to hear how much you've enjoyed hand quilting. Yay for slowing down life and enjoying hand work :-)
