Triangles + Curves {sewing}

Wednesday, 19 September 2012

I finally started piecing together the triangles cushion cover and the Totally Groovy QAL. 

The cushion top quilt is now pieced together and needs to be quilted. I have spent the last couple of days thinking about this - I have it... until I change my mind again. Next week for an update! But so far so good - I do love triangles!



The piecing of the Totally Groovy QAL is on its way too - I must be really slow as everyone seemed to have pieced the quilt top within a day. In my defence I had to master the piecing of curves - a first for me. On the QAL post chains, Alyssa has asked other quilters to show us their tips - and after trying a couple I opted for the pinning method. It totally made sense to me when I read it - and I was able to replicate it quite easily. And here is the curvy start. This is a real fin quilt top to put together. So it may be time to think about the backing fabric - I am totally getting ahead of myself here - wild!  




I decided not to piece it line by line - crazy stuff...  split the quilt into blocks. I thought I may have more of a chance to make it look nice. Well you will have to decide when you see it finished!

Linking up late to Freshly Pieced today!
