My " I made this up all by my self" quilt. I think that is what I will name it if I ever publish the pattern

These are some pictures of the quilt I have been working on. I started With these small blocks and got just about the size of a crib quilt and gave up on this design. A large king size quilt is just to big for it to be entirely 2 1/2 squares. You can't tell, but each square is that small.


                                      

I then started to add on. I added the red strip around the little squares above, and then added a new square (below) but, because I didn't read the directions it was way to big. It should be square but some of the pieces for this black have already been scavenged for other stuff, so its huge. I may use this piece as is at some point, but we will see. 
These are the fabrics I'm using. I love them so much


This is the newest add on. Im going to do the triangles all the way around and then move on. What I have so far has come from many hours of pain and torture trying to figure out what to do and what I'm doing wrong. 


This is how it will look when the triangles are added onto the rest of the quilt. 

As I add pieces on, I will post more pictures. 
Until then 
bye

  1. I think it will be a beautiful lap quilt :) You could use that one block as the center of coordinating pillow. I like the triangles around the edge...very cool!
