There's a new project on the go in this house - a steep learning curve methinks.
Although I swore I'd never do any patchwork involving triangles this project has lots of them.
If .... it works out , it will be a Christmas Table Runner.
I've already unpicked a section because the points didn't match...
and thrown out and resewed a bit that contained:
2 Eighth Square Triangles,
1 Quarter Square Triangle
and 1 Half Square Triangle
because after I had sewn it all together I recut it wrongly !!!
Phew, this could take a while, I have to psyche myself up to get back into it !!!
Cheers.
Bon courage Helen - (I kinow now why I don't do patchwork!! It will be great when it's done though and if a few corners don't exactly match will it matter as it sill perhaps be covered with your table settings? Do keep us posted as to your progress.
ReplyDeleteGo girl!
ReplyDeleteI am wary of triangles, but I am watching you with great interest. You are just like me, if it doesn't line up, it drives me mad (which is probably why I started making crazy quilts LOL).
I like your christmas fabric very much. Every year I promise myself I will make a christmas quilt for my soaf!
I'm placing an order for a twenty two foot triangulated Christmas runner for our banquet table. It should be a yard across. In fact we will have three of them please. Equilateral triangle dimensions - each side two and a half inches. Thank you in anticipation of your hard labour.
ReplyDeleteUgh points...I can never get them to match up.
ReplyDeleteOne block at a time my friend. Think of it as a challenge. A BIG challenge.
Good luck with joining all those shapes. It does look quite challenging, but just think at the end you will have a gorgeous table runner. :) I love your new banner!!

I love patchwork but am totally ham-fisted so really admire anyone who can do it. Good luck with your triangles!
